This is a WE red bar mag similar to the ones used in the 301A fiddleback and the 317 models. There is something different about the way it cranks and generates voltage compared to a 47A. Also it puts out less a/c volts than a 47A and I do not think it has any electrical issues with the armature ect.

I tried to photo the numbers 47B but all I can see anymore is just a number 7. I even removed the side bars and the magnets and photo'd the numbers on the mag body. Let me know what you think,

Another pic showing 4 separate wire contacts. This one does not have the a/c voltage output of the usual 47 A and is about 50 volts max. It does not seem to have any obvious electrical issues and is in good condition otherwise with the magnet bars in the correct orientation.
