This is/was common in European vehicles - but is NOT universally true.
The cap and rotor, yes. The distributor itself, no. Both alternators and distributors CAN be very specific to a very limited range of vehicles.
And I've been a (Canadian interprovincial)licenced auto mechanic since

Come to think of it, one of them WAS made by a third party for many years, ending only recently. The Jeep Cherokee (not Grand) had an Asin-Warner automatic, never a Chrysler.
