Is this what the chain looks like? Does it have two tone color like this one?

Hello;
Yes that's right.
For two colors, i doesn't bother me.
The reflector of @Robertriley , i has a right profile.

Hard to say whether all the ''B-D'' chains were single color or if some were two toned like in your picture. Mine appear to be all single color like the roller links in your pic., but I do have an nos post war ''B-D'' chain in it's original box, which is completely black finished ( connecting and roller links ) like the connecting links in your pic. You need to remember that there is documentation for less then 1/4 of 1 % of the thousands of G519's produced during WWII and of that small fraction that we know exist only a small number that still retain their original chain. So without printed documentation and/or a much larger sample to go by it becomes extremely difficult to say whether all the original military chains were of a single color finish or if some may have been two tone. By the way the logo on the connecting links in your pic is correct.

Bill
