So i bought a spare 3rd gen 3s head that i'm going to build, and am trying to figure out what the cams are that came in it. I'm highly skeptical that these are 3rd gen 3s cams at all, and they are NOT aftermarket. Take a look at this and let me know what you think.
Take a look at the cam lobes specifically. They have a relief cut in them on the back side pointing away from the pointy side of the lobe.

I'm running a non-turbo Gen III 3s head with turbo springs and cams. The cams swap out fine, so I'm sure the n/a cams would fit in a turbo head (not sure why anyone would do that though). Unfortunately I bought my head without cams in it, so I can't tell you what they look like, but maybe you can find some on ebay being sold?
