Hi Hombre, I would say that the two top ones were both likely from the Gaza United Nation Emergency Forces operation, as they both share very similar decoration and craftsmanship. Attached is one that I have, engraved “UNEF GAZA 1960”. It was purchased years ago from Stockholm. Interestingly, Sweden was one of the eleven countries contributing forces in Gaza during the campaign between 1956 -1967. Also attached, another Bedouin style shibriya of Jordanian manufacture, about 1940 – 1960.
