Whats the volume of that dish? I heard Mahles really suck and that they give most customers dimensia. You should box the thing up and ship it to me for evaluation.

Ive yet to hear a bad eperience with a mahle pistons when its used in it's propper aplication, they are well made and usual have some coating on the skirt , yours appear to have a crown coating on it as well. I would assume that the dish is from -12 to -16 , My motor (a 383 as well) has -12 cc , but mine are Speed Pro LW with a coated skirt.
Mahles are pretty pricey but they are well worth it.

I'm running Mahle flatop forged coated powerpack pistons in my 385. Love them. Car is 12.3 to 1 and loves nitrous. No problems with them at all. They came highly recommended.
