EL Falcon alternator which years are the same

if the oil has dropped into it it will need more than brushes, it will need a slip ring and probably a regulator,
EF and El are the same, the older ones ( EA-ED)have single v pulley, Later ones are different mounting

Just check it doesn't need a clean out and a new set of brushes.

as above, get it off and get it checked out and brushes renewed, its probably all thats wrong with it. Second hand alternators are always a bit of an unknown quantity, ditto power steer pumps. Its not hard or expensive to rekit the pumps if you know what to do and have the right puller tools for the pulley.

Had a EF in Perth some years ago and the leak on the PS pump was the "O" ring in the pressure hose on back. Ford wanted 100's$ for new hose. Drive specialist there sold me a new nut for a few$ so itmay only be that .

ef/elalternator.mitsy brand and bosch brand. .they wont interchange .unless you change wiring.from memory. so look at your old one. look at sticker.will have part number on it.hope this helps.but dont buy one thats covered in oil.or one that looks like its just been cleaned.

thanks .so a bosch EF would fit a Bosch EL ok!
