Your pictures don’t show.

In case you were unaware, AEG was a German power tool manufacturer. They were founded in the late 1800s. In 1991 the power tool division was purchased by Atlas Copco a Swedish Corporation which also owned Milwaukee tools in the USA, and then in 2005 it was purchased by TTI the owner of the Ryobi tool brand outside of Japan.

I presume your saw would go back to at least the Atlas Copco days or earlier. Most AEG tools were made in Germany as far as I’m aware until Atlas Copco took them over, although there were some exceptions I remember like a sander that was made in the Netherlands, and cordless drills that may have been made in Japan by Panasonic.

If the saw was made in France, there was a French manufacturer of power tools called Kity that made smaller stationary tools in the same size range as INCA from Switzerland. Kity was purchased by Scheppach who sort of killed off the brand, although some of the Kity machines are still manufactured under the Scheppach brand, usually with a Kity indication in the model number. I’m not sure, but it could have been a rebrand for AEG. I know some other power tool companies from Germany, like Elu, who now mostly manufacture hand held power tools also used to do larger stationary tools.

If the saw originally had an induction motor, AEG used to manufacture those, so it might have been an AEG motor. If you know the motor speed, mount, and horsepower, finding a replacement motor that works might bot be hard, unless you want to be exact. If the saw had a universal motor, the motor might have been the same you would find on a more powerfull AEG circular saw, although the motor housings aren’t always the same.

Elektra Beckum is another German manufacturer of small stationary powertools. They also manufactured motors. I think they’re now owned by Metabo, and/or whowever currently owns Metabo.
