I have seen some alternators that have the plug identified by both R&F and 1&2. The key is the orientation of the tabs.
If your alternator case indicates R&F, the tabs should look like this... II ...
This means a external regulator IS required.
My idea would be to find a 'SI' alternator and use your existing one as a core for the new purchase.
A single wire unit would be simpler yet, and work just as well.
The fewer wires and firewall clutter means a nicer looking engine compartment.
Your wiring recipe for the internally regulated alternator (SI) is perfect.
If your tab orientation is truly this way, II , it MUST use a external (firewall mounted) regulator, UGH!
