In retrospect, some thoughts on the subject… looking at the last photo that Tubs posted ( the bare armature) It appears that the "V" portion about which the coils are wound is integral with the left shoe, see the radius at the shoe. the right end is likely inserted into the right shoe lamination stack. That said, there is no way to install a long coil like a Johnson because of the "V". As for shorter coils, the shape of the armature core being rectangular would not accommodate any modern coil that I know of. Also interesting that both of the original coils had both primary and secondary windings, I had understood that one was primary and the other secondary, this was wrong. Thanks again for posting.
