Default valve reliefs in pistons

i just need to know if any of the factory pistons in early ls1's had valve reliefs in the pistons. i just pulled the head for the first time since owning the car for a bottom end rebuild and found valve reliefs. to my knowlege no factory ls had that. any one ever seen it?

They came flat tops, but you can run a little bigger cam and not worry about PTV clearance now..
