The 1939 Flaggenbuch doesn't show this flag, but is it not meant to represent
a Command Pennant assuming that such actually existed in the Royal Egyptian
Navy? I also wonder if it's the equivalent of the pennant flown by the
Austro-Hungarian and (as far as I know) by the German navies to indicate the
presence on board of a comparatively junior officer who is a group leader - that
is a Commodore's pennant but hoisted by means of headstick and attached cord
rather than directly to the mast via the halyard?

Army Regimental Flags were fringed national flags with ribbons with victories
in which the unit took part. The most common one was "Filastin" (Palestine) for
the 1948 war.

After the country became a republic (1953) the crescent flag set was retained
for some time and a republican rank flag is shown in Kannik’s ‘Alverdens Flag i Farver’ (1956) and
in a British edition ‘A Handbook of Flags’
(1958). The image here is taken from the second book, ill. 576 p. 91 (in both
books), drawing by Wilhelm Petersen. The flagpole is on the right as that is the
position the other Egyptian flags are shown in. Two green horizontal stripes
edge the white field, a couple of two narrower ones are put in the centre.
