That looks to me like the 2bbl pistons in that block. which would be about 9.5 to 1 If I remember correctly.
The large circle in the center of the pistons is not there on the 4bbl pistons. They
just have the 4 valve eyebrow reliefs.

or get the dished eyebrow 360 pistons and end up at 9.5 cr
just have to verify ch height and skirts . more research

1960s FE info:
FE Cylinder Head I.D. and Application Chart
The 2bbl regular fuel 390 was 9.5. We had one in our '66 Country Squire.
