IIRC the desert camo was a one-off for a Le Bourget air show. Irak operated 4 SuE on loan from the french navy while waiting for the delivery of their first Exocet-capable Mirage F1EQ-5. The Iraqi SuE's kept the original blue scheme.

Here's a pic of the inspiration for these recolors: https://www.airhistory.net/photo/229928/63
For the recolors, I picked the colors from my Djibouti and South African Mirage IIIs.
