voltage regulator wiring 1800 1969

I'm replacing the Bosch alternator in my 1800 with a Bosch rebuilt unit. Should be simple, but ...
I discovered that, despite having a Bosch alternator previously, my car also had an SEV/Motorola voltage regulator. I thought the two didn't get along? I looked through my stash of used parts, and found an Echlin VR-503, which is listed as the replacement VR for Bosch-equipped cars. So that's good.
But I have no idea how to wire all this stuff up. The regulator has three unmarked wires -- one brown, one green, one red. The harness at the alternator has three wires, too -- one thick brown one, a green wire with a spade terminal, and a brown and yellow wire. The old SEV VR is connected to one green wire, and two brown/yellow wires that share a terminal. Can anyone tell me what goes where?
Thanks in advance!

      I don't know about the wire colors but I'm pretty sure this is what you want to end up with:

        solved! (I think) 1800 1969

        Thanks for the help. The charging circuit has always been a mystery to me. ;)

        I found, through another forum, a key to the replacement VR. The green wire is the field, the red is the D+/61, and the brown is the D-. So I connected the brown/yellows to the red, the green to the green, and the brown to the D- post on the alternator. I started it up, and the alt light went out; I measured about 14 volts across the battery terminals. Sound right?

    you and I, as you open your heart in helping me out of this unbearable situation of my family disaster. Please give me this Godly help for our Almighty will reward you in abundant. It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I intend to establish in your country, though I have not met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in succeed sometimes in life. There is this huge amount of Million U.S dollars ($6,500,000.00) which my late
    Father kept with a Fiduciary Fund Holder here in Abidjan the Capital of
    Cote d’Ivoire before his death.

    Now I have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe
    enough outside Africa for security and political reasons. I want you to help me claim and retrieve this fund from the Fiduciary Fund Holders and transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment purposes. I am Miss Flourance Traore, the Daugther of late Colonel Bakassa Traore who died on after he was badly tortured by the security agents of the present goverment of president Laurent Gbagbo of the Republic of Cote D\\\'Ivoire for honouring the invitation to a dinner by the French Ambassador with his two colleagues, after the dinner they were arrested by the security agent of the present regime and was accussed of being traitors to their motherland knowing the political problems between Cote d\\\'Ivoire and France.

    They were tortured and detained for several hours after they were released
    immediately he was rushed to the hospital where his private doctor battled
    to save his life but he died 4 days later on sunday 3 july 2005 for
    verification you can see for your self this website:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4649533.stm

    My father knowing he won,t survive called all of us by his dying bed and
    instructed us to leave the country to Ghana where we are presently as our
    country Cote d\\\'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is no longer safe for us, Our Mother
    died 3 months later as a result of the heart attack she suffered during the
    news of the death of my father and I have to escape from Ghana now to Cote
    d’Ivoire in respect of this money and no one knows my whereabout here as I
    am in hiding place now at a Church with the help of one Pastor.

    of the total fund for your assistance to me.
