See photo is of a 5-ring A75 piston ring set. The ring set consists of (my guess at which is which):
2 - Bevelled compression rings (from the photo bottom, rings 2 & 3)
1 - Plain compression ring (bottom ring)
2 - Oil control rings (top two rings)

The manual is straight forward on where each ring is installed on piston. But it is silent on how to orient the oil control and bevelled compression rings.

Makes sense to me the bevel on the compression ring would be oriented toward the ignition chamber. Am I correct?

Oil control rings... unsure what correct orientation should be. Also, do these look like correct rings? I have some photos of my rings from 2018 and, though it's hard to tell, they appear to look different.

Thanks!
