the red dotted circle motif seems to be universal, or worldwide.

Bingo! That's the thread i was thinking of. Thanks Kronckew.

Anthony Tirri in his "Islamic and Native Weapons of Colonial Africa" has this down as Maure, which I think is just a French spelling of Moor. Basically it is the Arab\Berber population of the western Mahgreb\Sahel\Sahara.
