None of that has to do with Proto-Indo-Europeans, and we don't even know who PIE was yet(probably something like Stredny Strog and we have no genomes from there). All of those cultures mentioned like Andronovo are later cultures that came from Central Europe or Poland(increased WHG/farmer admixture from Yamnaya/Corded Ware).
None of the examples posted in this thread are Corded Nordids, as in, people common in the Corded Ware culture. Corded Ware samples were very dark, only some light people. Yamnaya was even darker. Only when they got more WHG admixture(Unetice, Andronovo, Sintashta, Leki Male) did they become light.
This would've been what Corded Ware looked like(and even that's being generous as this guy's a Lithuanian and Corded Ware were more east shifted than Ukrainians):
Yamnaya probably would've looked like long skulled modern Tatar types.
