The approach is certain to be definitive and rewarding.
I don't think you understand my reason for asking for a video. The cam cover is going to be removed and lobes inspected regardless. What I'm concerned about is identifying the CAUSE of the worn lobes. Was it typical wear or did it occur at an extremely accelerated rate due to lack of oil distribution. Thus, would like to see what oil distribution looks like on other engines when running and cap removed.

My 617 has a tube running parallel to the camshaft that continuously streams oil on each individual cam while the engine is running.
