The compression rings do have a top and bottom and were installed correctly.
The oil ring is a 4-piece affair (Deves) with an upper and lower ring that
are identical.  The only note made in the oil ring's instruction was to
stagger the gap of each piece 90 degrees.  It doesn't appear that the oil
ring can be installed upside down.

Most rings have a top and bottom side. If it's installed upside down it may
not work as designed and will actually let oil pass into the chamber instead
of wiping excess oil down the cylinder walls.
