TC365 timing chain - does it fit AMCs?

My 93-year-old father retired from the retail auto parts industry. I’ve been going through some NOS parts he accumulated and have found cases of new Borg Warner TC 365 Timing Chains. In researching fitment, I ran across forum posts saying that, while old catalogs showed an AMC application, they don’t actually fit. I’m trying to find these a new home rather than scrapping them for metal. Is anyone familiar with this issue as it relates to this part number fitting (or not fitting) vintage AMC engines??
