Welcome to CHR, Jeri!
The top two rings in your set are both 5/64” thick and both have a dot on the top of the ring but that is where the likeness ends! The top ring does about 80% of the compression so the installation is critical. The top ring is a lot stiffer that the second ring. The second ring will have a bevel on the on the opposite side of the dot and will be noticeable easier to compress.
See below - From our friends at Hot Rod Magazine.
When installing, put the oil rings on first, then the second ring and finally the top ring.
Remember to offset the end gaps between the top two rings."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil
