If EMIYA Alter is not Emiya Shirou, his NP won't be Unlimited Lost Works as such feat would require "Sword" origin just like Shirou and EMIYA. Also, only Shirou known TM character that found attachment to Kanshou and Bakuya.

Regarding his design that not-so-look-alike EMIYA, lore-wise, he's neither fictional character turn corporeal like J. Alter and Cu Alter or corrupted version of the original like Saber Alter.

EMIYA Alter case is same with EMIYA (Assassin) case. Case of taking different route. For Kiritsugu, its 'what if he made contract with the world and not meeting Irisviel'. For EMIYA Alter its 'what if he decided to abandon his mission for a single girl'.

So if their physical attribute became different, its because of their own development. OG Kiritsugu body isn't as muscular as EMIYA (Assassin) which makes sense as such development would require better physical attribute just like how Shirou grow much taller and became muscular as EMIYA; the haircut, blacker skin and additional cross motifs in EMIYA Alter clothes surely result of different development.
