The difference between to two is 2 amps in output.
The case of my generator is stamped 22258B then 10 51 (the date I assume)
under that is C39PV LO 12V
All very confusing - can anyone enlighten me? Do I have the wrong
generator - can the C39PV be upgraded to a C39PV2 just by using the later
coils and armature?

Douglas, technically speaking you do have the wrong generator. The 22258
generator was commonly found on the MGA, Nash Metropolitan...and a whole bunch
of other common cars. From what I can determine in my Lucas 400E Master
Catalogue, the 22257 was actually superseded by Lucas to the 22265. There are a
number of bits and pieces common to all three. If you want specific details, I
can probably scan the relevant page(s) and e-mail them to you.
FWIW, I can't quite figure out the "LO" (or possibly "L0"). Possibly the L
is the typical Lucas code for a long-yoke generator, but the O/0 puzzles me,
and the Catalogue is no help there.
