Glad you sorted out.
The easy answer is that most Nissan in the late 60s and 70s needed only around 35 amp alternators. So they fitted the same regulator to all the models, changing probably the decal and the part # (maybe) Since the Patrol always had the amp-meter, they must have thought that the light was not needed.
You can adapt the same regulator to alternators ranging in power from 35 to 80 amps easily, since the only control the voltage going into the stator. The generator regulator on the other hand, handles the current output, so it should match closely the rating.
