Need help Identifying Mahle aftermarket RSR looking piston on a 3.2?

Hello fellow pelicaners

Im looking to replace this piston but im not sure what it is? It looks like a 98mm 3.0 RSR Motorsport piston but my motor is a 3.2? from what I understand 3.0 and 3.2 piston aren’t interchangeable.

Did Mahle make a version of this piston for the 3.2’s. the new recently released (not MMortiz) Mahle P&C’s are different looking than mine which are probably an update.

Any mahle experts here to help decode these numbers?

Markings on the top:

Tiny “M” mark numbers are hard to see. I think they are 552 on top 0987 on the bottom of the M
Then 94,95 (mechanic measured pistons and its bigger from the bottom of the oil control ring chamfer all the way to skirt area. Is this normal?)
A big 0
Followed by 39/7

Markings on underside of the piston:

95P30 W2.

Anyone knows where I may be able to find these pistons?

Happy Fathers Day!

PF

The pin size is the difference from 3.0 to 3.2.
3.0 pin is 22mm, the 3.2 is 23mm

Yes that's why 3.0 aren't interchangeable with 3.2
