No no chance of an intelligent alternator from factory at all! 4 connections only on standard alternator;

Top right of diagram!
Top left connection is the output to the 100 Amp fuse to charge the battery.
Top right for the field winding powered via the 30 Amp fuse.
Lower right signal to the "Charge" light, when not generating it send an earth to the light.
Lower left is the earth/chassis connection.
