An observation you might…
The original Mk3 rectifier setup uses the two zeners as one half of the bridge and two regular diodes in the rectifier pack as the other half. Assuming silicon, there's a 0.6 volt drop across each diode. Current passes through two diodes each side giving a total drop of 1.2V. If the Mk3 rectifier is replaced with a modern full bridge rectifier, the current passes through two diodes in the rectifier and one zener, so the voltage drop increases to 1.8V. The zeners still clip to the original voltage but the voltage at the battery in reduced by 0.6V. This will result in slight undercharging of the battery.
Negative case power zeners are available, I wonder whether an insulator between the diode and footrest plate would work.

Not quite right.

Quite right Alan
So no difference, they just share the forward load.
