Default Piston orientation

I'm installing my cylinders on the engine and the overhaul manual says to

"Assemble piston on connecting rod with piston number, which is stamped on bottom of piston head, toward the front of the engine."

I have 10:1 compression ratio LW11487 pistons from an HIO 360 D1A so they have the indents on the piston crown for the valves, so I guess it matters which way they go. I can't for the life of me find the piston number anywhere on it. The only number I can find is the part number and its in the middle inside the piston (underneath crown) so I'm not sure which way to orient it.

HELP ?????
