I think the grey Generator on top of the main Alternator appears original enough. The other whirly bit driven off the flywheel appears to be a Governor, Guv'nor.

Max, as the Alternator Input drive seems to be hard coupled to the engine's crankshaft/flywheel, I'd imagine replacing a one-piece drive belt to the Generator and Governor would be a time consuming affair? Is the existing belt to the Governor a rivetted multi-segment piece or one-piece rubber? I can't see it clearly in your pic. I think I might have some lengths of rivetted belt somewhere.
