pistons (again)

as mentioned on forum DT 125 pistons fits KR
ordered over ebay two sets and received KHC flat pistons ...looking good BUT rings are what I'm worried about...and than I was worried about pistons as well. other rings fit perfectly from RIKKEN (came with prox pistons)
KHC rings are cast iron with something far from nicasil plated
than I looked back to ebay to order rings and found dozen of DT pistons from mid seventies till new millenium
early types were fitted with 'L' top ring (my favorite on 50-60 ccm engines) which increases performance in no doubt but happens to melt piston where ring secure-pin is
anyone tried L-ring?
anyone tried KHC?
are the older types of DT have same compression measure?
