I just figured out that the PO stuck what appears to be a Valeo E36 M44 alternator on my car. The pulley isn't lined up directly because there is some flex in the rubber mounts... in either case, the alternator bearing is bad and I want to make sure the pulley actually lines up like stock before I order bearings to rebuild it myself rather than buying an E30 M42 alternator for $200++.
Edge of the alt casing where it mounts to the center of the pulley that the V belt rides on.
