MG MGA - Unknown Piston Set. Anyone have a reference list?

I have a set of 4 NOS AE Pistons and I have no idea what they fit. They are domed, three-ring, pistons with two valve cutouts at 90 degrees from the upper floating pin position.

The AE number found on the top is as follows:

125
80-66261/2

Cast inside the piston is an AE number 2415.

I have the AE boxes but no specific application is found on those.

Given the valve cutouts, I am thinking they may be Riley or mga twin cam. I have no idea.

Any suggestions on where I might find a parts reference to the AE part number?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Have you any way of measuring the diameter with reasonable accuracy? I'm sure that would give an indication of them being TC or not.

George - thanks for that link - I'll see what they say. I wasn't even sure if AE was still around.

Derek - I'll take one to a machine shop and get some good measurements.

Thanks guys,

George - I wrote AE and they said they dont have references that go back for earlier pistons.

I find that hard to beleive - but I guess they know.
