It would be impossible to determine what vehicle they are from just by the word standard on the piston. You would have to supply the diameter( as mentioned) number of rings and the size of the dish in the piston crown ( for low or high compression) are you sure they are for Morris Minor?

That doesn't make sense to me, you must have counted multi-piece rings and expanders as seperate rings, so,

"How many grooves for rings on each piston?"
Talk slow, think fast!

I'd say it's from a 950cc car, and it's a Hepolite 5 ring piston according to books I have looked at.
