Alpinoids are Alpinised Europids as simple as that - so Europids with the specific traits combination for that type and coming from different sources.
An interesting aspect of differentiation of Cromagnoid and Aurignacoid, I tried to further emphasize, namely the angle and position of the jaw, best visible in profile usually:
Note that the 1st example of Nordid is clearer on that matter and seems to be more pronounced Aurignacoid if its about the jaw line than the example No 4 which is Nordid too.
I think there are some good ideas in your test Amorsite, but probably too much concentration on certain detail traits and of course, the size aspect already Coon emphasized is crap, since there are large sized Aurignacoids and those can be clearly distinguished from the short-broad faced Cromagnoid variation, with this distinction of Cromagnoid vs. Aurignacoid being the real important one.
Exemplified here:
Borreby variants are brachycephalised Cromagnoids, so half way Alpinised one could say, Dalofaelids in most systems of value were considered those Northern Europids which are Cromagnid - so dolichocephalic-broad faced-light.
