Tach Drive Generators?

This is both a question and information.

There is a Lucas C40T generator on eBay (item #280149584137). This is being listed as a Mercedes part.

My question is, would Lucas have made a different version for Mercedes than they used on British cars? If they only made one design, this item may be of interest to those of you still running tach drive generators... for parts if nothing else.

The end drive is 90* to what the Sprite generators were.
Maybe it already incorporates a gear reduction?
I thought Bosch had all the German car electrics.
This might be from a tractor or English Ford.
