6 volt generators have black tags, 12 volt have red tags. If tag missing,
must measure output. Can easily convert from 6 to 12 volts (and visa versa)
by changing field coils. Yes, must have matching regulator for desired bat
output voltage.

If it's truly a 1956 , it is 12 volt. If not any generator repair shop can
easily convert it to 12 volt.
