since you are somewhat local, why not take a drive over to TITAN MOTORSPORTS and let them help you identify them?

i thought GTE pistons were dished? i'd post them on supraforums and you'd get a better answer... in the mkiv section of course

Those are dished, definitely TT pistons me thinks.

I thought dished pistons had NO valve relief indentions on them because they were lower compression pistons (and werent close enough to the valveface to cause a problem anyway)

Nope, they still have the valve pockets cut into them.

cutting material away from the face (creating a dish) reduces the compression ratio..... 8.5:1 in the TT motor.

Those are TT pistons.
