The legend reads: katiba madafe3 makina - Regiment Artillery/cannon Machine - Mechanised Artillery Regiment. But the cannons look very like MGs so I guess it could also be Machine Gun Regiment; but the use of madafe3 for gun in that sense is unusual - a MG is usually a rashashat. Then there is that wheel - so could we be looking at Armoured Car Regiment?

Don't think it's Arab Legion looks Egyptian to me.
