The black coil was produced solely for the use of the Detroit Transit System. Questions remain as to whether or not any were eventually "side tracked" and placed in to automotive usage. Thus far, I've not been able to find any documents that would prove that to be the case.
If authenticity matters to you, the brown coil is the way to go.

By the way, the black coil you have requires a unique condenser which are very difficult to procure. That may be a serious consideration when deciding to invest in its rebuild.
