Need Help on Identifying This Camshaft

I have a 1942-48 NOS camshaft with 385 and S-T marked on the face. I bought this at Carlisle many years ago as a 3/4 race cam. Can anyone help on figuring out if this is correct. Thanks for any help

Do you happen to know the total lift (lobe height minus the base circle)?The NOS Ford cams of the 40s I am familiar with have 5T marked on the front.

I believe that is an Alquist grind. Here is a link to a HAMB thread I started asking about it.

If you want to sell it, let me know. I'm interested.
