1957 Johnson Golden Javelin charging system

Good morning community.
My brother recently purchased a boat with the above mentioned engine on it.
I have been appointed the task of wiring up the electric starter and the charging system.
I have managed to get everything figured out minus the charging system.
There is a generator which is belt driven running off of the flywheel.
There are two prongs on the bottom of the generator.
Here is my problem: what are those two prongs supposed to be wire to?
Usually generators are wired to a voltage regulator and then to the battery.
I do not see any regulators on the engine or on the boat.
Is there supposed to be one on the engine?
If so, what dose it look like?
Does anyone on here happen to have a wiring diagram for this engine?
Can anyone offer some insight as to how I should wire this up?
Thank you very much.
Look forward to hearing from you guys.
 
The voltage regulator is in an extra-deep cover on the junction box---if you have any of that stuff.

Here is the diagram
