The important numbers are (unfortunately) at the back end of the cam. A matched pair would be a 62(left)/63(right). According to the shop book I have this pair should be for a 380SL. It is possible to read this number with a mirror and flashlight off of your cam with the valve cover off (the driver's side should be a 62). Let me guess, the right rear lobe wore out, hmmm? Make sure to get a new follower and if required the right shim or you will be getting another one soon! Guess how I know this. There are a lot of posts on this and "the other" website concerning how important the oil tube fittings are in cam longevity.
