That would be Occidental paleo-Europeans, not 'Europeans'.

It is also generally accepted to be correlated with Celtic peoples.

I assume that you mean the ancient Kelts here, not the modern Celtic-speaking populations.
I don't know if that is generally accepted, as you say. I've never heared of it. But certainly R1b incidence in Denmark and the ancient Celtic populations in Jutland, would give some support to that theory. Further to this, it would be interesting to find out how much of the R1b portion in Anatolia comes from the region of Galatia. Notice that it is higher than in much of Eastern Europe.
