The Bou Regreg appears in Afrika 1944 in scenarios 10 & 11. At the Other tag, after the First Turn tag, the river is minor. In the special rules, it has crossing numbers, hence it must be a major river. So which is it?

The river in this area is 30ish feet wide (downstream from Meknes), and doesn't make it to 50 until much closer to Rabat (which is where the British are going). Flow is normally 24 m³/second, and it will not be in flood for another few months.

Since I live in a desert region, I'll give you a answer. The flow of the river may be small but the height of the river channel to bank may make it a major river crossing. I know that the river channel for the Dirty Devil River in Utah can have a  ten to twenty foot drop from bank to water level. I would go with a Major river. Think of a very large anti-tank ditch.
