Default alternator compatibility

Last month I found a good deal on a used 136 amp durango alternator and i bought it to upgrade my dakota smaller amp
This weekend i was planning to replace it but when i tried to install it noticed that the field connector is different than mine.
Here is a picture of both, my old amp on the left and the "new" on the right.

You can see that the connectors are not the same.

Just as a reference, this is my alternator installed on the truck, you can see where is it connected on the field and b+ wires.

Does somebody know if this "new" alternator is compatible with mine? If so, what could i do to adapt it? can i somehow do something with the connector to make my wires fit?

It should work. Just need the connector. Find out where it came from and go to the JK and get a connector for it. If you have to find the part number on it and go to www.autozone.com www.napaonline.com or any other online part sites and see what the part number comes back to.
