I may have one.  I recently had the generator on my 51 Deluxe replaced with a 6 volt, 110 amp alternator...I still have the generator in my trunk, and it was working when removed.  I'll have to take a closer look at it to know if it's a delco or not, unless that was the standard generator used in '51...pretty sure it was the stock model.

Let me know if interested and I'll check to verify it's the delco model.
51 Kaiser Deluxe

It would be helpful if the Delco-Remy X-series number and/or the K-F parts book number (are we looking for Kaiser, Henry J, etc?) for the generator sought be given or at the very least the application (year/make/series).    My own experience over the years showed me that D-R electrical parts seem to be less troublesome than Auto-Lite items.  I also found that Kaiser-Frazer D-R parts or items (starters, etc) from 1951-54 Chevrolet light-duty trucks (like pick-ups) are listed in United Motor Service (UMS unit of General Motors) interchange books.

A bit more information on what you really need is helpful here.

I checked my 2 UMS books and found that the DELCO number you reference was unique to 1952-1954 Henry J 4 or 6 cylinder generators.  The original component part D-R numbers in the 1959 book (which goes back to 1946 model year) lists:

1923205 - for Brushes  but you use adaptor terminals from the U1900 package
1118302 - for Matched Voltage Regulator

The 1960 book starts using the new numbering system as it shows D-704 as a number for brushes but only 1 brush is supposed to be in a pack rather than a set.  The matched Voltage Regulator is listed as D-602

Neither book lists a D-R or UMS number for a factory rebuilt of this generator type.

Some of the aftermarket companies like Shurhit list their own part number for the brushes and their number for this generator cross-references to other applications; the UMS book does not.
