i know its more "issued" correct to have a Early XM16E1 (3 prong hider) with a Chrome BCG. but would it also be correct to have a parkarized BCG too?

go here

generally it's early=chrome, late=parked

but both Colt and the military have been known to swap parts during the life of a weapon, that's where those transitional ones come in

If you are going for "as originally issued", I'd stay with what RETRO Black Rifle says. If you are going for the combat rifle in the hands of a troop in the field, it could have a parked BCG. Up to you!
