Unfortunately to nail down a compression ratio with any head you might choose to use your going to need to CC one cylinder with the piston close to TDC.

A makeshift way to do it would be to get. A 100 CC plastic beaker , get some clay and then fill in and level off with a razor blade both the chamfer and the valve notches.
Removing and balling up the clay and dropping it the beaker filled up to the 50 Cc level would then by means of displacement tell you the total CCs you are dealing with to use in a compression formula.

By the way, you do not need a rotating assy, just new pistons and a balance job, and yes that’s about a 700 buck cost assuming you can reuse the rings.

I wonder if I’m potentially wrong about the brand then? Here is a photo of them.

I assumed you couldn’t just swap pistons without basically starting over with the whole rotating assembly, but maybe that’s a discussion I need to have with my local machine shop instead of assuming lol.
