Reasonably 'African' from what I have seen, as do some of the
Mercenaries.

On the other hand, I'm not too happy with the faces of the Gurkhas,
fine figures that they are otherwise.

Well, South/Central America has lots of Caucasians and Blacks.
Otherwise, there are not that many suitable figures with semi-Asiatic /
American Indian features.

Sunglasses are easy, dark or metallic colour and a gloss varnish.

Clear glasses ? Never tried them. My idea would be to use: 
- a dark skin tone (to make the shaded eye region darker than the face
- a silver wash 
- a gloss varnish
