This voltage regulator is said to be an OE for Ford 6 volt Positive ground "B" circuit operation. Approximately 1941 vintage. I've never seen one stamped like this, although the color coding appears to be correct for the wiring harness. I would like to verify if in fact FORD OR aftermarket. Thank you for the help.

It'll fit and function on all Fords, '39 - '48. However, it is NOT concourse correct for any of them.

You know better than most folks... advertising was not always necessarily quite what was released.
I've had a number of these regulators and am 99% certain they were service parts.
 
You don't see many with anything other that the pole abbreviations on them with a black painted cover. They may or may not have the Ford name on it.

I'm with Mike on this, though I wouldn't go as far as 99% in my opinion.
In general, Assembly Line, Service Parts, and Advertising are three different worlds, each with their own realities. Further, even with Assembly Line, documentation tends to trail behind, always trying to catch up.
 
Here's an NOS one. This is correct for '40 - 48.

It looks like it's riveted too. I remember reading instructions for adjustment that stated to drill the rivets out of the cap. It looks to be zinc or cadmium plated.
 
Thank you folks for the input. Especially the pictures of the NOS units. My parts book lists the PN as 01A-10505-C. And the Generator PN is 1NC-10000. This is for the 4 cylinder application. Looking thru the "Orange" early FORD parts book and the "Green" later parts book it seems the application numbers have revisions and changes over the years. Is a PN printed on your '40-48 package? I guess FORD used what was available at the time of production?
 
Keep in mind that the references you are looking at were for the dealers telling them what would work as a replacement part, they are not the ID of original factory parts.
