Your average Brazilian pardo is more SSA than Amerindian shifted, so many Brazilian pardos would look off in Mexico, like this guy:
But Brazil has a good number of mestizo phenotypes all over the country, more in inland areas of northeast, center-west and north, this last region being the most Amerindian of the country, so I think 35-40% of Brazilians can easily fit in Mexico.
Mexicans that would stand in a group here in the most populous regions are these heavily Amerindian types:
For Mexicans to pass easily in Brazil, they:
- Should be Iberian looking.
- Mestizo, but that more balanced/Euro shifted type, or the ambiguos type that look pan-Latin American, hard to to tell it apart from triracials.
For Brazilians to easily pass in Mexico:
- No significant SSA imput in their phenotype.
