U would end up with mutts. Not only crossing breeds with very different type, but a crow wing with a non crow wing.

Would be a scary looking long legged old english bantam and I wouldn't cross them the oeg is really cute when little and as adults but the moderns are ugly I will never raise moderns! But I know a lot of breeders here in az!

this has been done to improve color quality of brown red and Birchen OE in the past, using the Modern of teh same variety. It does take a lot of focus to get back to anything useable in either breed as type and feather are very different between the two. There really is no point in the cross without considerable focused efforts and long term comitment towards a goal.

I "accidently" crossed a Crele OEG hen with a Brown Red Modern male. The offspring was long legged and had a Crele pattern. I didn't keep the cross, so I'm not sure how he ended up when mature.
