Different C-M217+ clusters in northern East Asians and Mongols

As we know from the most recent isogg tree, there are two major C-M217+ (PK2+) branches, one of them being more or less restricted to North Asia and North America, the other being present in both North Asia and East Asia. Now, Magoon et al. reported having detected the Z1338+ marker in Han, Japanese and Dai. And since someone at ranhaer forum predicted that most M217+ y-chromosomes in the Han, Korean and Japanese samples of Katoh et al. have this mutation as well, one might think that Z1338+ is within the branch in North and East Asia.

By contrast, the same poster predicted that a few Manchus among the samples of Katoh et al. are within the M48+ branch. And M48+ is within the same macro-branch as the North American is according to the most recent isogg tree.

Now, what about the star cluster hts shared by Khalkhs, Taraz Kazaks and Hazaras? - According to figure S7 in the recent paper by Di Cristofaro et al., they are within the M401+ branch of the M532+ branch, which includes the M86+ branch. So these people belong to the branch more or less restricted to North Asians and North Americans since M86+ is downstream to M48+.

And when we add some data from papers by Kharkov et al. (Buryats and Soyots) and Zhong Hua et al. (Han, Manchus), we might get a tree like this...

M217+/PK2+
M217+/PK2+, M532+(?): North Asians, North Americans
M217+/PK2+, M532+, M48+: North Asians, western Mongols
M217+/PK2+, M532+, M401+: Khalkhs, SE Kazaks, Hazaras
M217+/PK2+, M386+/Z1338+(?), partly M407+: Buryats, Soyots, western Mongols, Manchus, Han, Japanese

^
This is more or less in accordance with the "C3*" Y-STR network in figure 2a of Katoh et al.:
- large network of Korean, Manchu, Han and Japanese hts in middle and at the bottom => Z1338+?
- small mostly western Mongolian star cluster to the left at the top, which is connected with the large network in the centre of the figure => M407+?
- large Khalkh star cluster and Khalkh network of intermediate size in between the right and the central parts of the figure => M401+?
(- a few isolated hts on the very right)
