Can any one tell me the approx deflection of the USHM3 timing chain.

It seems to be excessive to my untrained eye - see photos

The deflection indicates serious wear to the chain and sprockets as can be observed with the wear on the crank and camshaft sprocket teeth.
The chain, crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket should be replaced.

Aye, thought as much. Thanks Phil.
