The headlinesman's side has the chains. They switch sides at halftime- the side closer to the lockerroom in the second half.

The opposite side has the drive start marker (the "X") and an aux LTG marker (an "O" like the chains) that mirrors the chain. So there's no marker at the first down spot on the LJ side- other than the start of a drive.

Also, both LTG markers have the orange "arrow" thing that gets laid on the ground as well.
