this one is problematic too

there are some clues that pillar 41 of the 1956 franco spanish boundary
commission may serve as the definitive tripoint marker

but no such explicit identification is made by brownlie

the conventional tripoint location
based on colonial administrative definition
is
n lat 27d 40m
w long 8d 40m

but of the 3 boundaries convergent there only the one separating algeria &
western sahara has been demarcated
& this is believed to terminate at pillar 41
which may therefore occupy the above geoposition

to add to the uncertainty
if the moroccan claim to western sahara is sustained
this tripoint will disappear entirely
