Another possibility to consider is the conditon of the pulleys. Sounds as though ( from the post) there is charging taking place, then the noise and finally the belt breaks. How long does this process take? If it starts charging and the pulleys are rusted and damaging the belts, then with the alternator under load the belts start to slip until failure. I've got a 31 open and if it's the port alternator removing it for service aint no picnic.
