The @.050 stuff came in later. In the day, they measured at .005, .006, .010....meh, whatev's they felt like measuring at. If you wanted to be sneaky, you ran a higher "@" measurement to make it look like you had less duration. If you wanted to sell cams, you advertised a lower "@", higher duration number.
The .050" came about by some, but not all, cam manufacturers in an attempt to standardize things.
FWIW, anyone with a D-Dart need not pull a cam to get you this info. Popping a valve cover, and breaking out the degree wheel and dial indicator is all that is needed.
