As you can see there is some difference in opinion here, pictures can be very misleading, please proceed with a high level of caution for your safety.
Even with new parts seek out the advice of a gunsmith, even if it is just to check your head spacing after replacing or repairing the link; then at the same time they should be able to tell you if there is hidden damage. We can not fully inspect your gun at a distance.
No gun is worth getting hurt for.
Good luck
