Default junk yard engine I.D....help!

I have located what I believe to be a1972 small block 400 with 4 bolt mains and 76 cc heads. I do not know what pistons it has (flat tops...smog dished or...??)

Can that be determined with the numbers off the block pad in front of the right head. They are as follows...

12S216538 TO217CKP

The casting number at the left rear top of the block is 3951511 and the head nos. are 3998997. That is 76 cc heads on a 4 bolt 1970- 1973 400 cid according to my Mortec search. It just doesn't tell me what pistons it has. I'm really after the compression ratio...is there an information source for that or can anyone be helpful there...

Thanks...Stan M.
