Yours is nearly the age of mine.
You may have an inline exciter with 230 Volt output.
Yours looks much better than mine!

Nice! What year is the Dodge? My Dad ordered one brand new in 1963 through the local small-town Dodge dealer. I was 4 years old, and I have just haziest recollection of picking it up from the dealer. It turned out to be an absolute lemon. It must have been built on a Friday just before quittin' time or a Monday with a hangover, from reject parts pulled off some back shelf.
Where can I find the most comprehensive owners manual?
Please post an in focus picture of the nameplate in the first picture.
Then a photo of the brush area of the MG unit with the cover held with 1 screw removed.
I do not see the inline exciter in any of the pictures!

The AC motor is wired for 440v and there is an add-on electrical enclosure with a buck transformer to run the machine form 220v

"Motor nameplate says "50Hz" - does this lend credibility to my theory the machine was originally bound for the UK?"
Yes, the 420 VAC input will work well with their 416 Volt system too.
The transformer in this picture is what replaces the inline exciter.
A good in focus picture of the transformer nameplate will determine if you have a 115 Volt or 230 Volt system.
Many inline exciters were 230 Volt units.
