Shurely if it is an alternator there's no need for a separate
regulator as such?

(If a dynamo then there is)

An alternator with a failed (or none-existent) regulator will boil a
battery dry (and probably cook the electrics) in a very short order.

Since the regulator often contains the rectifier dioides, it may do
worse han that!

Are you sure about that? I've never seen one which does. Make and model
please.
