I think it could be possible also. And I suggested to the counter guy at Advance that I would try that if he told me he was OK with it. But it had been awhile since I was last in an alternator and I knew there were leads from the magnet to the brushes, etc. and it could damage it. I think he decided he didn't like the idea of taking the risk so he decided to refund my money instead and I went to NAPA and found one like I needed.
Interestingly Advance had two listing for two different clocked rear cases and they had both in stock. But upon examination they were both the same with termiinals at 8 O'clock.
BUT - I think by removing the 3 case screws the front case can be rotated 120 degress leaving the rear case and magnet assembly together.
