Autolite Military Voltage Regulators - WWII Dodges-Question

Hey All, I need everyones expertise. I have a standard looking firewall mounted military Autolite 12 volt voltage regulator NOS (new old stock)
that apears to be in great shape. I need to determine what circuit type it is ( A or B ) to enable me to polarize a correct 12 volt generator,
( A or B circuit generator ). The tags on the Voltage Regulator say the following... Autolite, 12 volt, 40 amp, part number VAM4101B folowed
by the following number 5Z004518 or 5ZC4518 ( can't read it too well )
I found some info in a WWII Autolite issued book I have, and it does list the VAM4101B, and also a VAM4101A.... Does anyone know if Autolite
used the A and B designations to signify A or B circuit polarization ?

I also got some good technical polarization info from Paul Cooks Power Wagon site....

http://www.texaspowerwagon.com/polarize.htm

But I need to figure out if the VR is for an A or B circuit generator set up.

Any other suggestions as to where I can search to find the answer if no one here knows ?

I also posted this on the WWII Dodge forum
and G503.com

Thanks to all in advance.
