Every listing here says which of the four you are looking at. On a timing chain the tier that matters most is the guide material. The original plastic guides are what failed, so the uprated option here uses the revised specification rather than the part that was superseded for a reason.

Aftermarket means somebody else's version, which is sometimes as good and sometimes not. Remanufactured means a core stripped, measured and rebuilt to specification, which is not the same as cleaned.
