The cam profiles are indeed different but I believe the shafts are identical . They certainly look it The metal of the shafts is really brittle and is especially at risk on the ends where they have been machined out and made thinner . If you are not using the special tools , be very careful how you hold / restrain them if the sprockets are off....
