88 300E 5 Speed & 88 300CE
Factory timing chain or not?

Hello,
I just pulled my valve cover gasket of my newly purchased 88 300ce and was checking out the chain. Does the factory chain have JWIS on each link or should I be lead to believe that this is a replacement chain? Anyone change out their factory chain and know what was imprinted on it? The upper guide looks too nice to be 22 years old but who knows!

It changes all the time
JWIS sounds right, and I don't know anyone who has ever replaced or broken a chain on an M103.
