No.
They'd probably look no different when crossed.

i crossed baumgarter gray american to reynolds pakistan asil with mixed results. i just gifted a brazilian hen to a guy that has really good cuban gamefowl. he is breeding his best blue cuban to this blue brazilian and promised me a pullet. i will breed the pullet to my blue crushers cutting the cuban percentage to 1/4. these should be legendary

Yes I have. I crossed Sweaters, hatches, and kelso with some Puerto Rican gamefowl over the years. Only reason I did it was to get more size out of the Puerto Rican line. Puerto Rican gamefowl are more fino and tend to have more endurance than the American breeds, but the American breeds are stronger and fly higher while also being larger on average. You would expect a cross to have the best of both worlds, but what I got out of the crosses weren't really worth keeping so I got rid of them.
