Probably intake and exhaust. 1 is from the CAS.... 4 is close the gearbox. Thats the usual order. Anachy will confirm, Im more familiar with SRs.

Jap 1 is front 4 is gearbox side. Have a look on the front of the cam one will have a key with a half shape moon in it(if the moon hasnt broken off) thats ur exhaust cam which goes on you right side. Cap number 1 should hold the cam seal in
