Sometimes, when only 1 diode fails

All good mate, I know my electrics/electronics.
Yeah that could definitely be the case too. If 1 or two diodes were faulty the average rectified voltage would drop which then like you said could "offset" the trigger point of the PCM Voltage control circuit.
Too bad that these alternators, according to the manual are not serviceable. Was pretty easy repairing my old alternator when the brushes went.
