Custom tailored stuff from Egypt is common. When you think of the abundance of cheap backroom tailors it makes such things viable in a way that is not in the Western world. I've had 3 or 4 sets in this pattern and only one of them was made in a factory. When the tailored uniforms are made they are almost always non reversible with Rocks side out, Desert side in.
There is also the possibility that someone was trying to make a fake 3rd Reich item. See FobanX's 2nd set where someone clearly tried for that. Yours also has 4 pockets, which is another point of curiosity since the normal is 2 chest pockets only. Unless it's a field jacket, in which case it would likely be in US M65 style.
