On the Warflags website, the flags of the United Arab Republic of 1958-61 are shown. The Air Force ensign is almost identical to the current Syrian Air Force ensign [below], which leads me to suspect other Syrian military flags might also be carryovers from the UAR period (as is, most prominently, the current Syrian national flag).

Visible in an ACIG article, the current and former flags of the Syrian Air Force are on display at the Military Museum of Damascus (photo).

Since the older flag shows a lighter/greyer shade and the new one a brighter shade, could it be that both flags have the same color and the old one is just faded by the Sun?

This photo shows a Syrian military colour (or ceremonial flag) during a parade in the Syrian army academy (photo taken presumably in the 1970's). The flag is a horizontal triband (light-dark-light) with a device in the center and fringe around.
