High and Low compression pistons??

Can someone please share pics of high and low compression olds 455 pistons? I am fairly new to engine building and am wondering how big of a difference the dish is. I can't seem to come across pics of them. Thank you to everyone.

Have you looked in your Chassis Service Manual?

Approximately 1/8" deep for high compression and 5/16" for low compression.
