As you no doubt realize that while many Ford parts were built in plants outside the USA, many domestic parts were shipped abroad as well. Very often the parts shipped for international consumption were "different" than the USA counter-part. by "different" I mean in design and / or quality level and / or obsolete (for USA), etc.
It does not appear that authenticity is a big concern for you. If I am correct I would suggest you get the brown coil rebuilt as proper condensers are readily available.

Could the black case have more windings or be heavy duty someway?
Here is a close up of the aftermarket stamp.
