Voor wie het weten wil, het antwoord via lrsoc:
"Its not original - and the wiring terminals have been changed to accommodate it.
The 2 coil regulator is known as 'Compensated Control' and was considered adequate for petrol-engined vehicles of the 50's and 60's. However diesels had huge batteries - and Lucas responded with the 3 coil 'Current-voltage' regulator. which is supposed to handle higher currents better.
I think they work - I remember installing a flat battery in the family Rover 3 litre in Norfolk (battery had been used for caravan lights) and then cranking the car - and the thing charging at somewhere near max on the ammeter for several hours running - without burning out! The 3 litre had a 3 bobbin current-voltage regulator.
The 3 bobbin regulator was fitted as standard to all diesel Land Rovers.
The Lucas one had a screw-on shiny alloy cover - later being replaced by a black plastic screw-on one.
Should work - and its part of the vehicle history. If its on a petrol it may point to the vehicle having some use which imposed a heavy load on the electrics. I have seen one on a S2 station wagon that was used for caravanning."
