Default Funny about the Rocketeer I just bought

I posted a couple weeks ago about a 500A I found at the thrift store for $15 in the cabinet. I didn't even know it was a "Rocketeer," I just wanted the cabinet for my 401A. There was a box of design cams in one of the drawers. I assumed the cams were for the 500. After much taking apart, cleaning, lubing, oiling, futzing with the tension, etc..I finally get around to trying to change the cam. Imagine my surprise when I see that the cams in the box are way different! From what I can tell the cams go to a Kenmore. Now why would I think that the cams in the cabinet drawer would go for the machine in the cabinet?
I know I can use the cams from my 401. The sad thing is that there is a Kenmore somewhere running around without its cams!
