help solve EngineTech piston mystery?

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

16V piston is flat topped except for a low angled groove to clear the intake 
valves running parallel to the piston pin.
8V pistons are dished.
So, it's pretty easy to tell if they're 8V or 16V.
Harder to tell the CR just by looking although I could take some pictures or 
perhaps some measurements of both 10:1 and 8.5:1 pistons if you should need 
that.
