My first Volvo was a 68 144, dark green, almost black, so I am familiar with some of the quirks of a 68.

The generator is correct original equipment. It is a Bosch. The lower bracket is poorly designed---awkward, difficult to get the bolts properly tightened and prone to wear, which leads to misaligned pullies. I don't think it would be too difficult to mount an alternator from a later car in its place. (though I have no actual experience doing so)

The side markers are only reflectors, held on with two sheet metal screws.
