Would it not be simpler to feed dynamo B from a battery?

No, as Charles has already said, the voltage won't be stable, and you'll need
increased output with more load on the dynamo, which a battery won't give.

Plus you'll have the battery to look after and charge, so you may as well use a
dynamo in the first place.

Remote excitation is usually fitted to enable generators to start up under load,
as the usually field excitation from the generator output terminals doesn't
happen in those circumstances.
