If there isn't a marking, can you deduct the
chain size from the width of the chainring
and/or sprocket?

Probably either chain will work, right?

$ echo $(( 1/8.0 ))
0.125
$ echo $(( 3/32.0 ))
0.09375

1/8 inch 3.2 mm is fixed / freewheel single speed only.
3/32 inch 2.4 mm is derailuer wheel inside width. Some fixed / freewheel also use this size to allow switching.

OUTSIDE width needs to be determined since it varies for each 6 to 11 gears.
