I know I've heard some of you talking about making your engine/compartment more "real"/vintage. One of the many things I did as I built my 2110 was purchase one of these from Hungary. I paid more than this one is for sale. It looks mint.

The origin is Mercedes...
The identical looking 6 volt regulator was used on most all of the 356 A models and most of the B's as well.
In 1962 (T6) models, the identical model was used only it was 12 volt. In 1965 Porsche switched exclusively to 12 volt, like the model for sale above.
Cosmetically, there is no difference between the 6 and 12 volt models but it is a Porsche stock part, though it could have been used by Mercedes as well.
T-6 cars were 6 volt to the end of production BUT 12V was optional. Mysteriously an option that few chose, I've only seen 2 in all these years. Many 356's have been converted to 12V including mine. The only Porsche cars that were standard with 12V in 1965 were the 911 / 912 cars...
