They look like Marx figures to me. Possibly repro copies as I think Marx stopped in the 70s. Hope that helps.

Yes, those are mini versions of the original Marx "Capt. Gallant" playset. Figures were plastic 60mm. There was FFL figures and Arabs. Including a tin lithographed fort.
Capt. Gallant was a TV series in the 1950's. I watched reruns as a kid, and I also had one of the playsets. These complete playsets are hard to come by now. And although they are rare I think this one for sale here is a bit overpriced, as I do not think it included the original box.

Well ...maybe the really overpriced ones refer to a true saharian stronghold with true life size Arab marauders ..
My FFL set was really cheap..but I’m not convinced at all by the scale and eventual compability
