VADIS is of no help as the pictures for both motors are identical. However, after a little digging I came across this which may be of some help:

Electrolux: In addition to markings on the motor itself, later Electrolux manufactured assemblies are also recognizable by the molded black plastic cover which protect the Parkswitch and harness connections, and they typically have a green sleeve protecting the harness running to switch. These are, in my opinion, the nicest design of the three early type wiper motor assemblies I have seen.

SWF: I was not able to find any manufacturers markings on the motor itself, but after cleaning grime away, I finally spotted the manufacturer's definite logo in the maingearbox casting (ringed in yellow). SWF supplied assemblies typically have a black sleeve protecting the harness running to switch.

The above is taken from an article on this site.
