Just going from memory here but both the 650 and 750 cams have R1 stamped on the sprocket's face. It is unlikely that the previous owner would have swapped in 650 cams as they were a little milder than the stock 750 cams. Just to throw a wrench into this, if your exhaust cam doesn't have a machined gear on the inside of the #3 cam lobe, then they would be the best performing 750 cams, the Gpz 750's.
Keep an eye open on ebay for a Gpz pan as they are pretty rare to find.
