Classify/pass 2 mixed race 1950's Hollywood actresses

Anna Kashfi - British and Indian

Possibly half Anglo and Bengali but her family history is a mystery because she was born in British India but allegedly adopted by Welsh parents.

Maureen Hingert - Sri Lankan and Dutch

Was born in Sri Lanka and seems to be another product of the colonial era. Was an actress and represented Sri Lanka in Miss Universe, back when it was known as Ceylon.

What region of India or anywhere outside of India can either pass as a local?

She favors her non-White parent.

There are two different girls, they look quite similar I suppose.

Exactly

Strange, the first woman actually looks part black and white.

The second woman looks like she'd be Malay.

Interesting, you don't see Indian/Sri Lankan at all?

1st one doesnt really look typical for any region. Has features from both sides but could pass as atypical uppercaste in the entire subcontinent.

2nd one does look oriental shifted. I've seen some pahari, nepali and few bengali/assamese girls like her so i would say that region for her. srilankan sinhalese are linked to bengalis so thats where her oriental look comes from I guess.

Your comments on the 2nd girl was everything I thought about the first girl, oddly enough.
