The Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa changed its flag following the change of
the name and of the coat of arms (emblem). It is now shown in Wikipedia:

The previous version lacked the dove, placed the star and crescent inside the circle, and had the Roman letters NWFP on the ribbon.

Governor's House in Peshawar has three flagpoles, the center one a bit higher
flying the Pakistani national flag. The one on the right was empty the day we
were there, while that on the left flew a green flag with a device on the center
in yellow. A former minister of the Northwest Frontier Province government told
me that all Pakistani governors have green flags with the provincial emblem.
However, I noted that the emblem on his business card (and seen at
http://www.nwfp.pak.gov) was slightly
different from that on the paper napkins at Governor's House. The governor's
flag appeared to have a wreath encircling the emblem, and it made sense for the
governor's flag to have the governor's seal on it, so I scanned the emblem on
the image (above) from the napkin that I liberated from the house. The emblem
shows Jamrud Fort at the bottom, the historic fortification at the Pakistani end
of the Khyber Pass, mountains across the middle, and crossed sabers above the
mountains. Above the circle surrounding the above design is the crescent and
star.
On the minister's card, the crescent and star are inside the circle, taking the
place of the swords, and the initials "N.W.F.P." appear on a scroll at the
bottom.

From the image one could conclude that the crescent points to hoist. Is that
really so?

I don't really know. The wind was very light and, as I say, I couldn't even
tell absolutely for sure whether the emblem on the flag was as shown on the
napkin or on the minister's card. So you'll have to take this as an
approximation. There are flags in Pakistan, however, that have the crescent
facing the hoist when it's part of a seal or similar emblem, such as the flags
of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and of the Joint Staff
Headquarters.
