Timing Chain set: Did Pep Boys give me correct set??

i googled when got home. I told guy i wanted one for my car and before I left to go pay for, I asked him if it was a double roller or single and he said he would have to order a double. I called my boy and described the chain and he indeed said it is a double roller chain. It has 2 chains, and both gears have 2 sprockets, double sprockets.

I googled it upon getting home and not sure if he gave me a chevy part or not. On the label it says Melling timing chain set (3) 3-163S

??????????????????

unless the B was missing off of the label but I wouldnt think so and will double check when get home. I will also call pep boys. i will see if my wife can get some pics and send me and i will try and post here. Actually, its hard to post a pic here isnt that correct, cause i dont see a manage attachments tab and if you insert an image, it will have to have a url right? if its saved like on my pics and open up under microsoft images for example, it won't have a url?
