Coordinate System Help, To Plot XY Data (with known region)

Hello, I can't figure out the coordinate system used for this X,Y data (example below). It is supposed to match up with the Souss-Massa region in Morocco, with coordinates approximately (WGS84):

Lat/Long: 30° 17′ 51.5826″ N, 009° 15′ 01.6594″ W; (30.29766184° N, 009.25046095° W)

UTM: 29 N 475916 3351796

MGRS: 29R MP 75916 51796

X	Y
104464.57	349004.73
100830.43	367099.95
96385.06	364734.89
95362.79	361045.20

Thanks in advance!

Andrew

Andrew,

That appears to be one of the Merchich coordinate systems. Take a look at https://epsg.io/?q=Morocco for a list of coordinate systems for the area in question. In particular EPSG: 26192 - Merchich / Sud Maroc (South Morocco) or EPSG: 26191 - Merchich / Nord Maroc (North Morocco). One of these should be the system you need to use.
