The only way I can think of...

is to have a mechanic look at the timing chain tensioner. If the tensioner is fully extended, you can probably bet that it has not been changed. Lots of people replace the chain when they get head work done or when the tranny comes out.
The timing chain is one thing I would not worry about. I've never heard of one breaking. The tranny is another issue. Is that 192,000 on the original tranny? Now that is something to worry about. That's $2000 at least if that goes.
I bought a car with 223,000 miles on it with an unknown history. I didn't care when I bought the car. I just take one day at a time! It runs good so I leave it alone.
