    Because of the style of turbans, they could be an Indian Lancer regimant (despite it being Africa and them having rifles!) - check out these links -

    British/Indian regiments did serve in north Africa and these may be them or natives drafted in.

    The images page has lots of pointers to pinterest pages, but I don't have an account to look closer myself.

    Cheers, MTS
