The 06 Dyna was already converted to the new set up that started in all other 96" in 07. If you've taken care of the bike I don't know that I would screw with it. Even the cam bearings are not THAT bad. Leave well enough alone unless you are doing cams...
My stock lifters were in the bike until 92000 miles as well and they were fine...
I used a blind hole puller to remove the bearings and tapped the new bearings in with a seal installer. Flush to the case. Some use the old cams if they are swapping.
Again, you have the new set up, why are you even opening it up, is there anything wrong or not working right or sounding wrong?

There is a difference between 06 Dynas and 07 TC96 in the cam chest. The 06 uses hydraulic tensioners but has a link chain on both sides of the cam plate. Not as trouble free as the 07 and up that have roller chains.
That said, it's probably not worn as bad as spring tensioners. And this is coming from a guy who runs spring tensioners, link cam chains and a stock oil pump

FWIW it looks like you're using the HLSM parts finder (e.g. Ronnies) showing the illustration of silent link chain cams for the 06 Dyna. Whereas the ARI partstream shows roller chain cams... ARI 2006 Dyna Parts Here
Regardless of using HLSM or ARI illustrations, they both seem to list the same roller chain part#s that are for 06-later Dynas (and other 07-later models of course)

thus confirming the 06 does in fact have roller chains? On both?

I've never touched an 06 Dyna, so unless Nomadmax says otherwise, I think he was interpreting the HLSM illustration literally when it isn't a true representation.
I see it quite often on these parts illustrations and I accept, acknowledge, and workaround the variances.
So as per part#s...06 Dyna shows having Roller Chains on both primary and secondary (inside / outside). The test is as simple as looking up a 06 and 07 dyna and seeing the same part#s.
But interesting that the cams come as a kit (both) and are 06 only
