I'm fairly crap at electrics too but I can at least confirm that Phil is correct about the three wire alternator being the later, three phase one and the two wire system being the earlier, single phase system.
Beyond that I can't help much other than to say that if it were my bike I would wait for the correct reg/rec rather than risk using potentially mismatched components (any more than you already have done).
Both systems are somewhat prone to failure anyway so I would be very wary of taking any liberties with either.
Hopefully someone with better knowledge of electrics will chime in shortly.
