16V piston diameter measures only 94.5mm (95.5mm bore)

A buyer measured the pistons I sold him, I made the mistake of not measuring them first. According to the service manual they should be between 95.469mm to 95.481mm. Can a piston diameter wear almost 1mm? Could they have been measured wrong? I thought maybe these were 8V 2.3 but those would be around 89mm. These pistons were removed from my 16V parts engine and has the Mahle 95P54 stamped inside so most likely they are original.
