Mechanically not really practical.  Essentially I have a 12 screw 
terminal strip, four of which are used for power inputs (A and B 
redundant).  Not really room to change... plus the other design is 
done.    The measurement is done on the power inputs themselves.

So, really I'm faced with either just regulating it... and measuring the 
voltage another way (which is definitely possible), or doing something 
creative with scaling the voltage input to the device.  Which means the 
divide by half regulator.
