Anyway, seems to work and keeps battery charged and lights working.

Ian,
you are right, the difference between 6 and 12 V operation is indeed half-wave, and respectively full-wave rectification.

I don't believe that's correct.
I think both are full wave rectified, by two different systems:
- centre tap type full wave rectified
- bridge type full wave rectified
