Apparently the 07-09 Alt is different; I went to the eEuro oracle of Saab knowledge and found this:
Vehicle Note: This unit is SAAB OE 12770124. This unit is backwards compatible with alternator 5248372 which was used from 2001-2006 from 2001-09 but if you have a 2007-2009 9-5 then this alternator must be used. 5248372 is not forwards compatible.

It looks like the inexpensive regulator/brushes are only for the older style alt. Someone with actual knowledge like Anders will hopefully provide more info, but from my quick peek, looks like you need the newer style.
