National flag with two white crossed sabres
in canton.
It seems that this flag is always shown in sources with escutcheon
coloured, whether that is due to some internal armed forces
regulations following the standard more rigorously, or if it is
result that these flags are produced by one and the same
manufacturer.

The website at

in yellow only.

This photo shows an Egyptian military colour hoisted on a modified T-62 tank.
The photo was taken in the 1970ies, probably. The flag is a vertical bicolour
(dark-white), showing the Egyptian arms in the canton and the national flag on a
sun-like device in the center.

The Air Defence Force flag is pale green with the national flag in
the canton, 1/3 the hoist, and with the Force badge centred in the
fly.

The badge is not described, but I think that what is shown on the
Egyptian Government website
is that badge.
