You should be able to compare the profiles of the cams from the picture.

I also put in a chart of the Triumph cams that will fit in the 885's. The 955 cams listed are the early models that have the same number of teeth on the cam sprocket.

Be careful in trying to figure out cam duration since that's measured in crankshaft degrees and the camshafts rotate at 1/2 the crankshaft speed.

A '240 degree' cam will be 240 degrees of crankshaft rotation but 120 degrees of camshaft rotation.
