All right guys I could use your help here. how should I wire up this alternator?

the 2 terminal plug came unplugged. and this is how I found everything. I added all the red tape to identify positive wires.
the tiny brown wire from the plug was ran up to the battery.
the white wire from the plug runs to the stud on the alternator.
the redish wire runs from the stud on the alternator across to the main positive terminal on the starter solenoid.
the positive lead from the battery is also connected directly to the main solenoid terminal, it is used as a 12v+ connection point.
anyways this was a 6V system that was converted to 12v so this info is not in the manual and I'm sure it's a simple system I just dont know exactly how it works.
the alternator is a Delco Reme.
is this circuit safe to rebuild or is there an easier way to wire it? I think its weird that the little brown wire and the red wire connect to the same circuit just in different spots.
maybe the brown wire was actually ment for a voltmeter. it has to be. I dont know though.
theres a couple old wires broken on the engine but I think they are temp gauges... not sure yet I'll get there.
