Default 8ba flathead pilot and generator bearings

On an 8ba, are the sealed pilot bearings the same as the generator bearing? I heard that somewhere and wanted to check

I'd be interested in knowing the generator size or part #.

Just went through the Delco alternator on my flathead and even with the internet assist that was a huge exercise in "I got a secret." I actually had
to get them both out of the thing and measure them.

Appears to be a slight difference in width, otherwise the same.

I looked in my bearing interchange and came up with this.
Pilot B-7600 ID .6693, OD 1.5748, W .4724 Single shield
Generator 7RA-10094 ID .6693, OD 1.5748, W .4724 2 seals
