The 1958/59 361 was a high compression engine meant for performance. It was also available as a POLICE option along with the 332/352.
The later 360 LT (1968-1976) engine was as a result of FORD being able to use the 390 block casting on both the 360 and 390 cutting costs over the previous 352.
They are both the same displacement but intended for different applications. So the piston style would be completely different. EGGE pistons are for the earlier 361.
This should help -
