Does this timing chain look stretched?

My son and I are replacing the timing chain cover/oil pump in his R53 due to persistent low oil pressure. I’ve bought a cryo timing chain set since we’re in there, but I’m wondering if this chain has been replaced recently before we bought the car. I’m not sure what it looks like new so I wanted to get a more experienced opinion. Here’s an overall pic showing the guides and a closer pic of the tensioner:
