@Frogman even if i would love to think so, i find it very hard to imagine the egyptians producing sig rifles. maybe the us-models (with help from sigsauer), but certainly not the swiss. too many restrictions concerning technology transfer... and a sig is nothing you reverse-ingeneer in a factory in helwan or maadi...Theres been no official confirmation of from the armed forces itself but the Sig 550 and its variants have been widely circulated amongst members of the armed forces especially elite forces and paratroopers in addition to that the Sig 550 and its variants are built locally by the AIO. Me and friend were quite surprised that the paratroopers in the latest live fire exercise weren't using or issued to them.
