The Ford Barn

I’m stumped.
I would like to confirm my findings with someone with more experience identifying these...
I have two generators.
One stamped “Ford B-10” (1951) has a 39? front
The other stamped “Ford C -8” (1952) has a later pulley.
But either could have 12v field coils which are not outwardly identifiable.
Is their a VOM bench test to check see if they are 12v?

Gracias,
T.

The one with the pulley for mounting fan is for 39 standard, or earlier years with fan mount provisions. 40 deluxe fan mounted on the crank shaft.

Actually neither is a '39 or a '40. They are both a mix of parts from a wide range in years - not unusual at all.
