Timing Chain

Hi,
I need your help, i have a 157 AMG and i need to change the timing chain, the engine is 157981 60 003041. I can see that there is a new type of chain in the early models. So now my qustion is, can i bye the chain from the newer engine. There is not so much help here in DK, the AMG shop here will not tell anything at all.
Sorry for my english

Hope to here from you
