Anyway the subject of the thread is the physical type of the Kurgan who is the primoridal PIE culture.
The expansion of IE was made by successive waves and not via a big globalized movement. There is a movement which implyed the indo-europeanization of Hellenes, another for the anatolians, another for the Indo-aryans, another for the german-balto-slavs another for the italo-kelts (I'm quoting by memory so not sur of the accuracity of the movements named).
Each movement took several centuries so the original cro-magnid element mingled with the elements of the different aborignal popultations they encountered in their advance.
About the sarmathians it depends how the indo-iranian movements was made; if they departed directly from the original Kurgan place or if they departed fro the indo-europeanized corded ware complex ...
