A Yamaha Keystone piston normally (always?) has a "K" stamped into it. You don't want to put a keystone ring into a standard groove piston.
Yamaha rings normally (Exception: Dykes top ring) have a tiny "1" (top) and "2" (second) stamped into the top edge near the ring gap if they are different. Check for that. You'll likely need a magnifying glass.
There are so many mixed up ring sets and piston/ring parts changes over the years, it pays to be careful.

Here's a quote from the (piston and) ring master, Enduronut:
"The CT2 & CT3's models use expander rings underneath both top and bottom rings.
The yellow marked one goes in the top groove.
You'll also notice that it's a bit narrower then the bottom expander."
