To the best of my knowledge the bottom one should be the oil rings. There is no way you should have problem identifying that one. Push the other two rings (outer edge) into the groove on the piston and see which one fits each groove the best. One of the rings should be thicker than the other. The middle one should be thicker.

Hope this help you.
