Morocco car assembly in 1960s seems to have been centred on the Somaca plant in Casablanca, opened in 1959. It churned out Renaults (still the majority owner - 80%) alongside Fiats and Simcas (which in those days were linked companies; PSA apparently still has a legacy 20% holding in Somaca)

Difficult to find out which Renaults, Fiats and Simcas were Somaca builds and when, but definitely Simca 1000s from 1962, and it produced its last Renault 4 in 1993, a year(?) after French builds ended. But I think it's likely that all the Moroccan Fiats, Simcas and Renaults in the film were Somaca built.

On French Wikipedia there’s a list (up to 1997) of vehicles produced by SOMACA, with even some dates and figures: Link to "fr.m.wikipedia.org"

Interesting - seems to confirm that all the Simcas/Fiats/Renaults here fit local build. Am separately intrigued by this "56 Aronde" I stumbled on in another Morocco promo film - could it be a 59+ local build as one of the first Simca products??
