Need help to ID a Lucas Alternator

This alternator was in the trunk of my '71 TR6 when I got it:

It is Lucas, but has a Beck Arnley sticker. Unfortunately the numbers are partially rubbed off, but start 186-061... or
perhaps 186-081...

I think 186 indicates it's remanufactured.

The alternator on the car looks original: it's a two plug/five connections type. The Beck Arnley is one plug, which may be why the PO didn't fit it ... he may have been planning on converting the wiring with the Moss kit.

If the Beck Arnley is a beefier alternator then I'd like to use it.
 
Its a Lucas. You can see it cast into the front cover right above the shaft.

BA is your rebuilder.

What does the writing on the black plastic back say?

16ACR... or something else?
 
There are no marks at all on the black cover.
