Default 1989 Mustang 5.0 Alternator Enigma

I just pulled the alternator off a 89 GT to overhaul it.
I had one off a 89 LX already overhauled so I was just going to swap them while I cleaned up the GT part.
Both are Motorcraft castings.
See PicThe left one (GT AOD) has a 1-3/4" pulley, the right one (LX 4spd) has a 2" pulley.
The cooling fans are also different.
What is the significance of the differences?

I'd try posting the question on stangnet. They have a pretty active fox body forum.

I tried the Mustang forums.... they drag you through the mud to get a picture uploaded there. After about an hour trying, I gave up and came here instead.
