Panjwai is southern Afghanistan, from all the photos and accounts I have seen, they are common amongst villagers in the eastern side of Afghanistan, especially around mountainous regions of Pakistan and the Khyber Pass. Iranian Balochi's wear something similar to a Pakol, but not in the same style.
It's mainly used amongst either tribal men in Afghanistan, or elsewhere by Mujahdeen, hence why there are Islamic Bosnians sporting the pakol in the picture I posted. Soviet's were also seen with Afghani Marxists wearing Pakol's throughout the invasion in numerous photos.
