Default Cam Bearings too narrow

Anybody see cam bearings like this? Why are they so much thinner than the stockers that came out?

The bearings look like theyre wrong, stock bearings should be .765 i believe and there is another bearing ive seen listed that are something like .62x, dont know difference but i would think overtime the narrower bearing would cause issues....

From what I can see these are for '03 and older. This is a 2010 block.
Looks like I'll be calling the shop that put them in.

Thanks Man! I was told they are the DuraBond CH-25 but when I look those up they are supposed to be .775 wide. So I have no clue what is in this thing....
