It’s a Borgo piston from my s3tv175. I wrongly assumed the crown had an arrow. Can you tell from the skirt which is the exhaust side?

Thx

Look at the ring pegs
That side goes towards the carb inlet port on your cylinder

Not only that, but the large frame engines have specific piston skirt cutouts that are asymmetric to align with the crankcase & cylinder transfer ports.

I have no idea of the worth to cutting the piston & cylinder so that the edges of the piston cutouts align precisely with those of the cylinder, but I always do so. Every little bit helps..... :P
