Would this be a manufacturers variation, or perhaps reflect what type of vehicle for which the chain was intended?

Hallo David
I cannot answer your question regards manufacture variation. If you are referring to the image in post #1, I suspect it is post-war modified. It appears sections are missing, and two alternate shape clevis introduced.
The wire rope/clevis/chain/hook assemblies on the universal carrier are found with fourteen (14) small links, and that large ring you perhaps reference? The clevis are straight side “U” shape: unlike the “horseshoe” shape shown in Post #1.
