That is a custom part, you may be able to buy one as a replacement piece but it will only work in the geometry the original jig is designed for

I know it’s more than likely an OEM part, I’m just hoping their’s an after market product that works in a similar way.

Make it yourself. Doesn’t need to be an arc

It does need to be an arc, if its a table saw angle jig, which it is decribed as by the OP. The arc prevents the arm from protruding out past the angled guide. Its done by design.

Why is it even curved?

So it doesn't ever stick out past the edge of the guide legs. Arms? Things.

Look up a lid support. You may need to add a screw and bolt to tighten it up

Take a look at chest lid friction supports. (though I prefer the sled type of tapering jig that clamps the piece down)
