Def not a flat tappet. You can see where the roller tip rode on the lobes, and the cam is steel, not cast iron.
And it's not junk. It has some surface rust on it... Get some steel wool, coat it in oil and it won't rust.
But I don't know what kind of cam it is... Getting it measured would not really narrow it down much either. Many cam makers make the same size cam.

To measure the cam lift is easy!! using a "dial caliper" mic the side of the cam lobe ( at the bottom of the high lobe) then measure the height of the lobe !! take the s,all number ( small cam base circle ) and subtract it from the larger lobe lift number !! then X's that number by the rocker ratio ( Ford is 1.6) or : Base circle is 1.25" the high lift cam load is 1.58" subtract.. 1.25 from 1.58 = .330 then times rocker ratio. .330 X 1.6 rocker ratio = .5280 lift camshaft!! SOOooo... the cam is a .528 Lift!! to get the duration.. then the ole degree wheel comes out and that IS more than you'll want to do. at least you do know it is a performance camshaft!! cool??
