I can't find my post from long ago, if I did one. But, here are 2 of the brackets that came on one of my REV frames. Would it really make a difference on a 12+k HMMWV ?
The regular alternator bracket weighs about 26.5 #.
The holy one weighs about 18#.
The mounting bolt holes in the holy one are bigger, but it worked great for the last 4 years.
I don't have a regular engine bracket for comparison. And, I know that I will need to replace my propshaft bearing soon.

Re: Weight Savings
I have the brackets for both 200, and 400 amp's.
The only difference is a bigger hole for the long bolt.
Never seen one like that holey one.
I have those bearings if needed.

Re: Weight Savings
Both of these lighter brackets have the normal part numbers on them.
Here is a better pic of the left engine mounting bracket...
