are 2003 and 2004 Marauder alternators the same? Interchangable?

I call bullsheep. The Vic alt won’t work, many people buy a Vic alt and it won’t charge... there have been wayyyy too many posts about it. Been a lot of folks handed a 4g Vic one by the parts store and they don’t work.
I am not discrediting anyone, but I really don’t feel like arguing when I’ve seen it in person.
plus the brush packs are completely different colors, making me believe one is pwm and the Vic being 5 volts reference

I had an alternator off an 04 Vic on my 03 trilogy for quite a while, worked perfectly fine.
 
According to Tasca Ford parts catalogue, the 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury GM and the 2003 Ford CV all use the same part number 4U2Z-10V346-ABRM 130amp alternator or 3W3Z-10V346-ACRM 120amp alt.
 
Trilogy and Eaton swapped MM alt are exempt as neither use the clutched pulley.
You cannot utilize a clutched pulley on an alt that spins un reverse.

okay but you can remove the clutch pulley and its the same alternator. Its not like the Marauder has a one direction only alternator, my eaton swapped DTR is using the factory alt with the clutch pulley removed.

It's almost like you can swap pulley's or something.
The PCM doesn't care which pulley is on there.
Again, I used an 04 Crown Vic alt, on a 300a, without any issues what so ever.
