The difference that it makes is that any loads connected to load terminal will receive generator current directly from the generator without the regulators current sensing circuits knowing anything about it. In other words the current regulator function will ONLY apply to the generator current going into the battery, totally independent of any loads being supplied via the L (load) terminal. Imagine a lighting load so large that the lighting current plus the battery charging current is so large when combined that it exceeds the regulators current limit. If those loads are connected to the battery, this combined load is the way the regulator senses and controls generator maximum current & would cut back on field current & thus generator output to stay within the design current limit. However, when those lighting loads are connected to the load terminal, the regulators current sensing function does NOT see that current, rather it sees only the current applied toward re-charging the battery and allows the generator to do its best to support both loads.
The scheme appears to do nothing to protect the generator from current overload, which may be why it fell from grace over the years.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
