Ranjit Barot has a pan-west Asian look, and can pass in many MENA countries. The rest look distinctly South Asians to me.

MENA is a extremely broad grouping though. In fact Gujaratis are closer to some MEs (West Asians) than NAs are based on Fst distances

Can he pass as Punjabi?

Can he pass as Punjabi?

I think so. According to Iran N admixture (http://www.anthrogenica.com/showthread.php?8166-Updated-Neolithic-Iranian-Calculator/page2) and other admixtures Gujaratis are closer to Punjabis than to most other Indians.

I think they in OP look mostly Ancestral North Indian (Caucasoid). Genetically Gujaratis are mostly Caucasoid, about as much as Burusho, Punjabi and some North Africans, this is also shown in Iran N admixture.
