Heron has created a thread on Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky, so I decided to make this one. I would've included Hitler, but there's already a thread of him in the historical section, and I'm not entirely sure if Erifrail and Alerith want to keep the discussion for a later time.
Codreanu (I've found more pictures of him smiling than of Mussolini; unfortunately, there's no footage of him, though there is a recorded speech (the authenticity of which I'm not certain about, so I'll leave it out)
In my opinion, both of them dominate through their eyes. I would say Mussolini's are Se, while Codreanu's are Ni. Mussolini shows Fi tension, so I'll go with SeFi for him. Codreanu is a bit harder in this regard, in my opinion (particularly because this isn't my forte), though I'm thinking Fe due to the smile in the picture with the child; NiFe, though NiTe is also a possibility.

You're right about giving speeches. I had to do one in history class (we were put into groups, had to choose a party from the 20's and one member gave a speech, pretending he was an important figure in the party, trying to convince his audience) and suddenly I became an Fe-lead in facial expression and Te-lead in hand gestures.
Yes, Codreanu is confusing. There are plenty of pictures in which he doesn't even resemble himself in other pictures. I still can't see him as Ne/Si, but I could see FiSe.
Edit: There are plenty of Mussolini videos on youtube. As for Codreanu, nothing except for this one speech (where only his voice is recorded):
The quality is poor and the accent doesn't fully resemble the one where he's from (though I could imagine somebody with a regional accent adapting the official one, as my father, who is from the county next door, did.
I agree about Mussolini being a Se-lead, but I'm not sure about his J functions.
I'm not sure about Codreanu, just like sitbone, I think the softness of his eyes in some pictures, can be misleading. They also seem a bit melancolic... Regarding his J functions, his smile seems more Fe than Fi, in my opinion... Actually, his eyes seem Ne and Fi, and his mouth and cheeks seem Fe and Ti o.O
I do think he was a Se lead, about the Js: He was an actor, very skilled in the oratorical abilities, he made everything to look as severe as possible (i remember an episode where an "ancient" paparazzo made some shoots with him and his family at the beach... he forbade the journal to publish them), making odd faces, various snarls and almost screaming in his speeches, i highly doubt that he was like this in his private life (just like Hitler). Said that, to me he was an SeFi quite strong with his Te (he was an elementary school teacher in his past, maybe because of that). I say that for his almost frightened and overwhelming stare, with very big eyes. I noticed that most of the time SeTis (and TiSes as well) have a more relaxed appearance, if you want to understand better, watch at the pinterest boards i made (in my signature the link), concentrate mostly on Keira Knighley's eyes and Filippo Timi.
And about Codrenau, i'm still waiting to have a better opinion about him.
About Codreanu: i watched many photos, and listened to some audio (i haven't found any video of him), i'm almost sure that he was a PiJe. Judging by his smile i think he was a Te>Fi user, so, for me the possibilities are SiTe or NiTe, and i'm leaning toward the second hypothesis. His gaze seems very Ni to me.

After looking through the photos again, I think you might be right. If Codreanu is NiTe, Mussolini SeFi and Hitler TeNi (I'm still not sure Hitler's TeNi), then they're all gammas. Perhaps I'll make some posts later on Pavelic, Mosley and some others to see if there's a trend.

Linus you know, i think i'm changing opinion with Codreanu, now i'm seeing more SiTe than anything else. He has very hypnotic eyes, but not the "cobra" face (don't try to find a meaning, this is a completely personal sensation), and his eyebrows are quite muscolar, thing that i noticed more in Si users/lead
Heron, I'm not sure you're correct. The "cobra" thing - I have no idea what you're talking about. As for muscular eyebrows, for the last two months I've been around my close family much more than usual, and my most-likely FeSi mother and (especially) my most-likely SiTe (or SiFe) father do indeed have stronger eyebrows than either my SeTi brother or I, but they are also older and have used them more, never mind variation in phenotype. I'm still leaning towards NiTe.
Some more pictures, for those interested (I don't mean to fill the page with pictures of Codreanu, but the ones that do exist are not the best and he seems harder to type) :
Heron, very interesting. I'll look at a few more Ni- and Si-types for comparison. What do you think of the possibility of FiNe? - The eyes are more melancholic than I've seen them in SiTe. Maybe the pseudo-Ni has to do with pigmentation: apparently he had light grey eyes.

Linus if you want to make some comparations watch at the pinboards i made About FiNe as a possibility... why not? But i still think that Pi lead makes more sense with him. And i thought the same thing about the eyes
More than with clive owen, i think he is really similar to Aaron Bruno (SiTe):
