Here is an article about the conversion from a cs130D to cs144, whose photos look just like youar alternator in the photos you posted.
This is on a '97 Blazer with the 4.3 v6 engine, same engine as your Safari.
BUt 130 does not equal 144MM.
They make no mention of an alternator bracket change requirement on that specific vehicle but mention bending the thin, or removing the thicker rear bracket.

Wow - this seems (almost?) too good to be true?
Mex - have you looked at this? This makes it seem like it's simply swappable with no bracket ...
