Default WTF-1942 U/C Mk1* carrier Generator rebuild

I am presently rebuilding a 6V generator for My 1942 Mk1* carrier, and need some help with finding a replacement armature.
I have all the replacement parts for a rebuild of the generator except the armature.
I have tried a number of places here in Canada, and the USA to find the replacement armature- Ford part # GAE 10005. The part # is taken from the Universal Carrier Parts manual FUC -03 on page 88. No luck!
If anyone has a cross reference# for this part that I might use to find a replacement please let me know. Failing that, if anyone has a good used armature that they would be willing to part with, please let me know as well.
I would have looked for a replacement generator, except the one I was given is a original generator, with the proper #s stamped into the front frame along with the Ford # 79-10139.
Thanks for taking the time to read this want.
Doug

Chris,
Yes I tried them first. Then I checked a bunch of old Ford Truck sites to see if I could find any parts. I managed to find a few bits but not much.
Thanks,
Doug

I believe that the armature on the UC is longer due to the dual pulley setup, correct?
You may have to get the armature rewound.
I can ask a friend of mine who does auto electric rebuilds where he gets them from.

Chris,
That would be great. Does he rewind armatures, or can he get it done?
Thanks for your help.
Doug

Yes, my friend has worked at an automotive rebuild shop for over 25 years.
He has since gone out on his own as he especially enjoys the challenge of custom and antique items. He has done lots of work for me over the years on all kinds of mv electrical equipment. He is quite adept at all 6 volt vintage items.
