Alot of extra wires on my dynamo (fiat 126p)

Hello!
New user here! I just fitet an new 650cc enginge in my fiat 126 that i bought without a motor. The engine works fine but not the dynamo. I have a purple wire comming out from my dynamo that is cut and I cant figure out where it should go. It does not look like any other dynamo when I try to google it. I have added a picture and hoping maby some of you guys on here could help me out. I could not find any production number or any other info on the dynamo housing.

Hello! Car is from 1978. The engine/gearbox I have no idea.. the guy I bought it from did not know. Not sure if its any way for me to find out.

The braided earth cable looks like an addition..

Normally the connection to earth is just the mounting points to the motor.

Look in OTHER FIATS. Section.. bottom of CARS list.

Several 125 owners in there..
Same period of electrics

Think the braided thing is mentioned in the haynes manual so i think its common. But there is a condensator connected on the brown thick lead going to the generator... not sure if its needed... had 10 minutes to try connecting leads today but did not work... you might see why if you look at the picture?
