Welcome to old rigs. What is there might not be "correct", a lot of things could have been done in the past to get by. fjparts.com had nothing for 40 series. Go threw the vendor section at the top and see what you can find for sale that is "correct" for your year/model/market.
When my like 30A unit goes south on my 72 I'm going to up grade to a one wire 105 A unit ($100)
So cityracer has something. Look at the notes and pic's. You should call them as I don't see a green plug on yours.

The reason you aren’t finding anything is that you are working on a Non-US example and the alternator is mounted differently.
This will work for you, however since that is an original NipponDenso alternator my preference would be to have that one serviced if possible.

The '74 and earlier alternator has mounting arms at slightly different positions.

Not intended to argue with you about your own products - but that 75-77 version, or any alternator intended to mount in the upper passenger side would not work for him without fabrication. The pre-74 would be the bolt-in. After 74 (Start of 2F production) when USA market shifted the alternator to upper passenger-side, ROW (Including Canada) stayed in the "F"/pre-74 location with the same mounting brackets, belt, alternator mounting tab position etc.
Learning something new everyday! I always thought that all 2Fs used the same alternators except for the plug change starting in '78. Didn't know that non-US markets used F alternators. That's great information.
