Piston Gudgeon Pin Circlip Retaining Rings

I seem to have misplaced a set of circlip retaining rings for the 3l 164 motor, and although I am still scouring the garage for that place of absolute forgetfulness, I would like to know if there is anything special about their specifications (like whether they have beveled edges, etc).

I found a website with all sorts of circlips, and I am sure that I can find the appropriate part. If anyone has a set laying around, please let me know the measurements and/or a picture to show the type of ring.

for the 3L 12v, they were just spring steel, round, and a pain in the ass to get in and out. An 'e' type ring would be better, if you find one to fit...
