The connections should be different sizes. On later units, the armature
(yellow) uses a 3/8" wide quick connect; the field (yellow/green) uses 1/4".
On earlier ones, the posts were different sizes (again the large one for the
yellow wire). I don't recall the exact sizes offhand, but the armature post
is close to 1/4" while the field is close to #10. (Both are actually
British threads.)
Kind of makes sense, since the armature connection has to carry roughly 20
amps; while the field is only 2 or 3 amps.
The armature connection is slightly closer to the center, but only slightly.
