same postion? the postion dont change the lobes change i.e. the lift of the lobe, and the tip on the lobe will be different, i.e. stand lobes are pointly as such and ph3 are more smooth for a longer duration.
the postion of the lobes will be the same, it the shape of them will be different for different specs.
so they are not in the head? if not look at the end which free not got the thread in, see if there anything on there end?

cams will only go in one way.
exhaust cam is the one at the front ( next to manifold )
inlet cam is the one at the back.

There's not a lot in them.
The jp4 cams have slightly wider lobes.
So you should have 4 normal, and 2 cams with slightly wider lobes.
Theres was a thread on the saxosportsclub with pics of the 2 different cams compared

well just compair the set in your engine with the other ones you have, the lobes and angels will be roughly the same on both cams but the key at the end on the cam where the pulleys go on will be 180 degrees out
