Two first are removed from 205 blocks and the last are removed from a 200 block

Differences between them addition to the visual differences on top of them?
Anyone is better or worst than the others?

hola

The 200 block is from a 4x4 cosworth and the pistons used for these engines had an offset gudgeon pin to help stop "piston slap".

those numbers do not mean anything to me (casting numbers?) but maybe someone on here can help further
