Wouldn't ever happen, at least not all of al-Anbar.  I can't see the 7 districts along the Euphrates and Tigris being incorporated into Palestine.  Maybe some of the largish Ar Rutba district if they wanted to give Transjordan more desert, but that would be about it.

Do you envision some of Iraq's more homogeneous Sunni Arab governates being included in the French Mandate of Syria somehow?

No, but if something closer to Sykes-Picot had been followed, then Iraqi Kurdistan (including Mosul) would have been part of the French mandates.  Britain definitely wanted a land corridor for a Cairo-Baghdad railroad, so moving any part of al-Anbar to French control wasn't likely at all.
