Do these three Punjabis look lighter-than-average, average or darker-than average for Assyrians?

Given that Assyrians seem to be one of Sikeliot's favourite ethnic groups, I thought that this would be an interesting question.

[Sikeliot]

Slightly darker.

Slightly darker.

While the woman looks blatantly Indian, could the men pass as Assyrians in your opinion?

Very much so thanks. Butlerking is a weirdo and I have had my arguments with him. The reason why I have a fair few threads about South Asians is because (a) I grew up in an English city with lots of them and (b) there is a widespread belief (or, more accurately, prejudice) that they can never pass as any other ethnicity.

More votes and suggestions please.

Darker than the average Assyrian...actually most Iraqis here (esecially the women) are lighter than this or atleast a similar shade

Punjabis are little darker, but phenotype, the assyrians are much closer to them than to europeans.

They are darker than the average Assyrian. The bigger of the two guys looks a bit like my cousin. But, he is a bit darker.

The girl does not look Assyrian, but I suppose a minority of Assyrians may share her complexion.

Some Assyrian girls below for comparison:
