Guys guys, we are forgetting the most important reason as to why this wouldn't happen: Erwin Rommel. He's still trodding around North Africa with his Afrika Korps, and he's got the logistics to press an attack if need be. If we're focused on a N. France Landing, he's gonna kick Monty's ass all the way back to Cairo before anyone notices, or has the ability to fight it. Operation Torch only happened in November, 1942, and the americans in N. Africa don't have the offensive capability to take care of Rommel, like they did in OTL. And, if the Americans and brits were focused in on a 1943 Normandy-esque landing, there might not BE an operation torch, leaving montgomery high and dry in North Africa with a minimal armored corps to take care of Erwin Rommel's substantial force.
If the allies loose in North Africa, then the landing in France will be a mute point, because then Hitler's got the fuel, maybe not the material, but the Crude Oil in the Middle east to fight on indefinately, or untill that fuel runs out, which we haven't even drained all of it yet. So, in closing: In TTL, N. Africa will either be a loss for the allies, or a long and dragged out process, and the war in France will probably be much worse than OTL's Overlord + Bocage break out.
