No idea............................but why would you need to know ?
If you've got a H and need a camchain buy a H camchain
and if you've got a L and need a camchain buy a L camchain.

In Aus, local shop only has a H chain, may take a few weeks to get an L chain in.

Weeks !
Even the very worst Kawasaki dealer here could do much better than that.
You could try Mori Man he's a mod on the forum and is in Japan he might be able to send you a new camchain and have it with you in days.
I could even get one to you but there would be a cost with getting it to you quickly either way.
It could well be that a H camchain is the same...................I'm sure someone might know for certain however I woouldn't just take a chance you could end up with a very broken engine.
There are also after market pattern camchains available for the ZXR 400...............but again I'd not use one myself

more...........................
Just checked a pattern parts website and they list different camchains for H and L model
From memory a genuine camchain is about £20 sterling.....................the pattern ones I've found are £55 sterling

if nothing else that proves my long held point about pattern parts not only are they of potentially lesser quaility but they are not always the best value.........................

I would of thought they are the same..
I cant think of why they would be different... my engines are a total mixup of H and L that if they were different chains id probs be buggered
but, i cant say for 100% deffo like!
