are they?

Yup, Scando-Lappids and East-Alpines belong to the Caspid Southeastern High-Skulled Racial Group in Lundman's systematics.

The ancestors of the Scando-Lappids, who are at the same time high-skulled and low in the frequency of blood type gene q, had probably already become separated at the end of the Ice Age somewhere in eastern Central Europe, possibly in the West Carpathian region. They then followed the retreating ice as hunting tribes of the reindeer and other wild life east of the Baltic Sea. Finally, the proto-Scando-Lappids became domiciled in the northern Scandinavian subpolar region. Consequently, they are also not strongly depigmented.
The Scando-Lappids are reduced in stature and unique in anthropological traits. However, they are not at all Mongolid. At most the Scando-Lappids are a parallel-developed, but very unique, sister-race of the East-Alpines.
In the northeastern portion of their homeland the Lapps have then probably been exposed to stronger Mongolid racial and also cultural influences at some unknown time. These were mostly of the Talgid race. Thus, have originated the East-Lapps.
