I bought these cams in a lot online, but can't seem to figure out what brand/model they are. I've also never seen the sling logo before on the smaller cam. Neither cam has any writing/engraving on it except for the orange sling one having the number 4, and the pink sling one having the number 7. Can anyone help me out?

The sling on the bottom one clearly says ABC. My first set of cams, c. 1993, was of this make.

The Orange one looks like an Ocun symbol. Haven't seen or used their cams before though.

Ocun had cams called Metal Jack. IDK if that's what this is (never saw them).

The top Orange one is definitely Ocun, and the bottom one appears to be a Kong cam, but that sling does say ABC, so I wonder if ABC rebranded Kong cams and sold them under the ABC brand at some point?

ABC rebranded most of the gear they sold. This is a Kong Slit- fix cam from the 1990's. I have small orange one still. The other is Ocun also from late 1990's. The Ocuns were distributed by Climb Axe in Portland OR. Which I believe became Mad Rock.

Bottom is definitely a kong. Super awesome cams in the large sizes I have a couple

Sam Spuds is right. Bottom one is an older Kong Slit Fit cam

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
