Hi Eytan,
It was the flask I was referring to as Algerian, though of course the countries are side by side. Elgood attributes these flasks to Algeria though the hangers as you mention are typical of Moroccan style as seen on the Koumyya. Although as mentioned above, the seller called these "a pair" they very possibly are not.
