Pistons are Hepolite 21253 probably.
These are 9.75:1 C/R (actually a bit more in early blocks).
They are more expensive than the 21251 (8.8:1), but are a stronger piston.

Ring widths in these pistons are metric, which is a pity- the original rings are expensive and there are no or few alternative suppliers.
