The pistons are out and the compression rings are free in the piston grooves, the only questions relate to the oil control rings that seem to be much closer to the piston diameter but do seem free to move in the grooves. It is not obvious if the compression rings were installed correct side up or if they are indeed intended to be positioned one way or the other.
The cylinder bores look pretty good with a fair amount of the original crosshatch still eveident.
I'm continuing to evaluate the parts but a bit disappointed that there is not an obvious cause for the high oil consumption and smoking that I can idenitfy and correct.
