I'm pretty sure the President of Libya could have obtained a Browning High Power, should he have so desired. I agree that it is a MKIII, with the ambi safety. FEGs do not have ambi safeties, that I have seen.
The sad part is that the pistol will eventually be lost to history, as the recent photos show much wear from being carried often. Someone of the profile of the owner will eventually be bumped off and the pistol will disappear into the sands.

Here are a left and right view of the Mauser Model 80 SA, which was also made by FEG and a straight copy of the FN.

FEG even produced FN clones with the FN trademarks on the slide for sales in the Middle East. This took place before 1991, in the old Eastern-Block years.

Neat, I didn't know FEG made a Mauser-branded model.
