TTA NOS short-block / pistons

Any idea what a new-old-stock TTA short block might be worth these days?

Also, if I got a few pics of some pistons I have laying around, could anyone I.D. them as TR or TTA pistons? I know they are one or the other.

thanks in advance!

The GN pistons have a dimple or dot in the dish. The TTA's have a arrow. I believe.
