 Is it ok to use twenty plus year old NOS piston rings? They have been 
 compressed inside new old stock TR3/4 liners and everything is at least 20 
 years old. 
 Or have the rings lost some specifications?

It is probably ok to use them.  How many nicely cared for 20 year old engines 
have you seen that don't use a drop of oil?   Just sitting in the bores is 
much less stess than a running engine.
