I do wish they could standardise as even handluggage sizes are different which can cause issue but I know that AA are usually more lenient on that.
Bag rule follows that of AY's, both ways. I tried to price an example itinerary below and boldfaced the most relevant parts:

However,
https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...age-policy.jsp mentions 1 bag is free for Ruby members, without mentioning any exceptions (ticket plated on another carrier, another carrier's rule applies, etc.). I believe there is a good chance you can get the free bag on your inbound, but note there is a recent experience indicating the contrary:
SFO checkin agent - non-001 ticket means no elite bag benefits
In short, I don't think anyone can give you a clear answer. You will have to try your luck.
I believe if you had purchased this itinerary from AA.com with AA-coded flights both ways, you would actually have a 01P bag allowance written on the ticket, but that's based on vague memory and experience from a few years ago.
