measure the lift of the cam and you should be able to match them up with the manufacturers catalogue

As above.

Measure the height of the lobe from the base circle, then the width of the base circle, and subtract the width from the height you measured.

You need to measure it more accurately than that, to 2 significant figures. What are you using to measure it?

Ideally you need a set of vernier calipers to get an accurate result.

Best option is to phone a company that supplies them and quote the part number.
