Default Could these pistons forged be used in any Subaru engines?

Hello,

I'm after a bit of technical advice from anyone that's clued up on engine building....

I buy & sell interesting new & used motorsport parts and have recently acquired some various different forged 92mm bore pistons and as this is the same bore as used in various Subaru engines I was wondering if they could theoretically be used a special one off engine build?

The 2 piston types in question can be viewed in more detail here:

Pistons forged are they the same as Forged Pistons
