The cams themselves are the same IIRC, except that the 2.0 inlet cam has a tang (a metal bit) on one end used to make the ignition timing system work in a different way to the 1.9 Mi, which has distributor parts on the end of it.

 

For a 1.9 engine running a standard distributor, you need to use a 1.9 inlet cam. And the same is true if you need a new inlet cam for a standard 2.0, i.e. you need a 2.0 inlet cam. The exhaust cams are the same though and interchangeable.

 

You can find the part numbers in here if that's what you want your friend wants to find out:

*and here for the 2.0: http://stuartmcguire.co.uk/pug/GB/405N/GROUPS.HTM

 

It's possible your friend is asking what cam pulley numbers the cams have fitted, and you can tell him that answer just by looking for a 2,3 or 4 stamped into the pulleys on your cams you have for sale.

I think the 2.0 inlet cam has a tag to drive a vacuum pump aswell where as the 1.9 doesnt.

To confuse things further, there are two versions of the XU10J4 inlet cam, although both have the pressed on tang for the cylinder reference position:

 

XU10J4 Inlets:

 

S16 - end slotted to drive the vacuum pump

 

2.0 Mi16 - end plain, no vacuum pump

 

neither will drive an Mi16 distributor

 

XU10J4 Exhaust

 

Interchangeable with XU9J4 except it isn't drilled and tapped to accept power steering pulley. Easily done however.
