Is this a True Nordic type?

Those three look like any group of younger people I'd see in a club or a bar here in the Midwest. My son pictured below looks like he has the rounded "Slavic" features. Isn't that what the EHG is?

Some of the EHGs are definitely reminiscent of North-Eastern Europeans. The right one in particular:

I always thought my grandfather and great grandfather posted below in this photo looked more "eastern" than Norwegian. Both were born in southwestern Norway. So, I think it's rather difficult to infer someone's ethnicity based upon their appearance. Both are pictured with a cousin and an older uncle. My grandfather is in the top left and great grandfather is in the bottom right. (his father)

did EHG's actually have epicantic folds? or is this more likely something that came later with saami for example?

Half of the Mesolithic Swedish HGs were derived for rs3827760, so they probably had epicanthic folds. I think there's a good chance that this came from their EHG ancestry.
 
The boy on the photo looks very Norwegian to me, typically south east Norwegian, area north of Oslo towards Trondheim along the Swedish border. But the phenotype can be find other places in the Nordics also. Could also be central Swedish origin. Area is high on I1a but the East Asian narrow looking eyes (common in Scandinavia, more towards north) is maybe from south Saami genetic input (Y-dna N1c) from Iron Age.

The guy on the first photo is Mattjö Haussy, also has a bit of these narrow, kind of Asian, looking eyes. His eyes reminds me of the Norwegian actor Jakob Oftebro (search Google images). But Oftebro and Norwegians in general have smaller noses than the French guy on the photo above.

Normandy was settled by both Norwegians and Danish during Viking era, so the I1a in Normandie likely comes from that. The word “Norwegian” in Norwegian is actually “nordmann”, so very similar to “Normandy”. It could be that the French guy on the photo has some traces of ancestry from Scandinavia, e.g. his narrow eyes, although nose etc doesn’t look very Scandinavian.

absolutely NO!

Sorry, I red bad: I correct it: AGREE, something Saami-like even. Again, excuse-me.

That's the same as EDAR no? Did they have any uniparental markers that would explain this?

Also how did ENA get in WHG? Was there that much admixture between ANE and WHG that ENA from ANE in North Asia got to Western Europe?
 
In fact I read very surprising diagnostics/definitions (and endless subcategorizations without typologic consistence) concerning phenotypes and populations in this thread, whatever the value we give to collective phenotypes. Plus, don't put too much money on reconstruction concerning fleshy parts of bodies; spite the solid and reliable bony crania and the supposed scientific genetic basis, every skull could be "re-dressed" in 10 different ways if we entrust the work to 10 different "specialists": the oppositions and ethnic attrbutions could be very striking; more art than science, I can tell you.
 
I wonder what Native Americans would have looked like if their founding population was Yana or Malta like instead of Baikal_EN.
