For instance would an Iraqi Alpinid and a German Alpinid still score the same Autosomal DNA results or not?

Phenotypes don't really overlap that much with autosomal DNA, you can be half Lithuanian and half Pashtun and still be either Baltid or Irano-Nordoid, its all by chance.

These are two mixed Turkish-German brothers. They are roughly the same autosomally but the phenotypical difference is immense. One looks 100% Turkish and the other 100% German.

Now imagine they breed half Turkish half German women. Their children and grandchildren will do the same. After like 5-6 generations what will their descendants look like? We wouldn't know for sure however it's pretty possible that some will still look more Turkish and some more German.

They'd look more exotic

I think many of them will have light eyes and hair. Southern Europeans for example still have such traits, albeit to a lesser extent than say the Danes or Latvians.
