Default Can someone please verify that I am looking at the correct trunk sticker?

I was trying to figure out what type of alternator I have (based on the information quoted below). I found just one sticker in the spare wheel well of my trunk, which listed all the options in several columns. The only option which started with "8G" said "8GL."

Based on the list below (which I copied from another post here), can I assume that my alternator is therefore 120A?

(<a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2279016.phtml">here is the link to the list</a>, by the way)

&gt;Here are the trunk sticker codes for the various alternators

Default Must be a different model? Where on the alternator are you looking?

Perhaps I ignored the obvious, but I did look for a S/N and could not find one (at least not one that was visible). Part of the alternator is concealed by the intake/throttle body and I figured the S/N is probably on the backside (where the wires attach).

My car is a 2001.5 (AWM) 1.8T.
