The first man is a messinese by Coon book.
Plate 24. BLUE-EYED ATLANTO-MEDITERRANEANS
"FIG.1 (3 views). A Sicilian from Messina. Aberrant in respect to an excessive mandible width, but otherwise typical."
From which book are the calabrian and the other sicilian? i have never seen their photos before today.
It's commercial time, so I did a reverse image search.
They seem to be from a book by Roland Dixon called The Racial History of Man. He was another one of those early twentieth century racists.
This also came up:

I'll say one thing, I've been watching the Netflix series Lilyhammer, and the Norwegian plates look pretty representative.
The Portuguese plate seems off. That has to be a Cape Verdean or something. They're the only Portuguese or part Portuguese people I've ever seen that look that SSA admixed...that, or Brazilians.

The south Italian sample isn't off, imo, but you need more than one plate to capture the diversity. The two you posted help, but you'd still need more examples, I think.
