Indeed, you are correct.
731 has 3 rings but only 3/8" lobes.

I think you can copy and past my post in to word and enlarge it there, I'm not sure as I'm a real clutz with IT stuff.
It would seem what you have is a MKI Cooper S Cam. Not a bad cam, but a long way from an ST 731.

The one i had back in the eighties had 3 rings, could be re-profiled.
