Apart from the L34 motor, which 308s came with a factory fitted double row timing chain?

I've opened up several engines with single-row chains on double-row sprockets, but I couldn't say whether they were that way from the factory or someone was cheap-skating it at some stage?

From what I have heard, all the pre '74 V8s are single row with tensioner.

L34 was first double row. (with tensioner) Other V8s got the gears but not the chain.

Some time later, all red V8s went to double row without tensioner.

Later on again, they went back to single row. (see Brock's 1985 Bathurst)
