Alternator identification (pics)

I got all set to take the (what I thought was) externally regulated alternator off and found that the one I got from NAPA looks awfully similar. Actually the only difference is the tabs are on top on the new one and on the back on the old one. So question #1 is are they both 10SI's? Question 2 is why would the regulator stayed on if the old one is in fact a 10SI? I found this article , http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/marlan_davis_technical_advise/photo_22.html which explains the conversion a little differently than this one. http://www.acampora.com/HTM_Pages/Index_Pages/Farmall_Pages/12-Volt-Conversion.htm

My setup sure seems to look like that first link's setup but why use the regulator (external) at all? Aren't you doing the same thing? So why multipe ways?

Although it says 12SI the author explains it is the same for a 10SI.

In case nobody has noticed, I have managed to confuse the living hell out of myself. Sure wish I had never pressure washed the thing (the wire you see loose on the regulator came off due to a rusted out connection). The loose wire has me in fits as to whether I am overcharging the battery. It SEEMS fine but there is white powder around that I am taking for fluid boilover. The ammeter nbeedle stays just a touch over into the plus side. This just isn't my day for machinery...
