 * Circa 2019, the Egyptian Republican Guard (قوات الحرس الجمهوري) adopted a copy of the [[MARPAT]] camouflage design, originally developed for the [[USA|US Marine Corps]]. Printed in China, the design incorporates a similar color scheme to the original, but with darker overall tones, and lacks the EGA symbol embedded into it.

-* During the 1960s and well into the 1970s, while Egypt was a member of the United Arab Republic (U.A.R.), certain Egyptian textile factories produced a series of "vertical stripe" camouflage designs, possibly influenced by similar patterns worn in Libya and Syria. Uniforms in these patterns were certainly exported to Palestinian units, but may also have been worn locally by elite formations of the Egyptian Armed Forces - most likely the Egyptian Republican Guard. Some color variations are known, with brown ranging from orange-rust to chocolate, while the greens can range from bright kelly green to more of a blue-green. Similar designs were also being produced in [[Syria]] at around the same time, although with slightly altered color palettes.

 * Issued concurrently with the above copy of US m81 [[woodland]] camouflage is this variant, utilizing a similar color palette but completely unique set of shapes. Although having similarities to the [[China|Chinese PLA]] Type 87 Woodland design, the two do not seem to be identical, despite the fact that contemporary Egyptian uniforms all seem to be sourced in China.
