Actually, you should remember the discussion on Anthrogenica where it was proven than U106 wasn't buried in Battle-Axe rite - only on burial site used previously by Battle-Axe people. That's a SIGNIFICANT difference. Guy wasn't Battle-Axe but he possibly belonged to people who pushed CWC groups further north.
I don't remember. Thanks for pointing this out. What was the title of that thread where it was discussed?

But what people were those? After all, no any U106 has been found in Bell Beaker remains so far.
I think that it is possible that some R1b lineages came together with majority R1a as Corded Ware. BTW - a few days ago Balanovsky has announced that he discovered a new branch of R1b-L23 - GG400, a brother subclade to L51 and Z2103. So now we have not just two, but three main branches of L23, namely: L23>L51, L23>Z2103 and L23>GG400. The last one seems to be concentrated in Eastern Europe (probably a large part of basal or unresolved L23* from FTDNA Polish Project will turn out to be L23>GG400).
See the link: https://ep70.eventpilot.us/web/page.php?page=IntHtml&project=ASHG16&id=160121213
IMO there could be both a small minority of R1a in Bell Beaker, and a small minority of R1b in Corded Ware.
Another typically Eastern European branch of Non-Western R1b is L23>Z2103>Y5587 (so called "EE Type").
