cams in that pic (mine) are 100% s4. Measured about 39.5mm lobe height.
I've looked at a lot of other pics of S4/S3 cams and some have tan paint on them, so I'd say paint, regardless of color, isn't a factor per se.
I got my caliper from harbor freight for $3. Gotta measure them. Only way to tell for sure if you have doubts (probably good to confirm for $3 anyways). You can even do it with the cams installed, just have to remove the valve cover(what I did).
