Because the cam and balancer mark still line up I'm thinking that relationship is OK but I'm a little concerned about the IP drive being correct. More than likely it's OK but I'd like to verify that.
The chain seems OK. The timing marks line up PERFECTLY so there doesn't seem to be any slop. I'm probably just worrying needlessly.

If you can Hand crank you Engine and nothing hangs up you could simply try starting the Engine.
I have no idea which Year the Engine you are using came out of.
If you have a Turbo Diesel that has a 17mm Hex Plug on the Governor Housing you can crank the Engine to 15 Degrees after top dead center of the Compression Stroke and remove the Plug an view the Tang that is visable in the Plug Hole and if that is centered your Timing ought to be OK to start the Engine.
