It certainly could be, but without detailed photos it's impossible to say. It was very common for other mnfrs and service companies to swap out the name plates when they worked on the table. This was extremely common.

Mnfrs. had certain identifiable characteristics but sometimes this is not guaranteed.
 
It still may or not be. Interior photos of frame would be the most helpful. In antique tables, it being or not being a Bruswick does not hurt the value much. There were many quality makers at that time that copied their style and construction techniques. Size? Looks like a 10 footer.
 
You can meausure the size of the name plate and go to a few website's to check deminsion's against to see if it's a Brunswick, AE or another brand. The name kinda reminds me of a shuffle board company that sold tables. The new company is American shuffleboard company and they bought out an old company several years ago about 10yrs ago. It jogs the memory a little from a trade show because I always ask wierd questions and remember off the wall answers.
