Alan is chosen for a random deck check in a GPT you are head Judging, you get his deck (in a box) and bring it back to your Judgestation™ for the fun part.

In the player's box (Let's say it's a G/W deck) there are 60 + 15 cards in purple sleeves, a few tokens, and a few un-sleeved cards in the deck's colors.

The IPG (3.5) says “Cards that are obviously not part of the deck (e.g. cards in different sleeves, tokens) are ignored when determining deck legality,” so do you simply ignore these cards? Ask a few questions? Where do you go from discovering this?

!BONUS!
A player has 60 purple sleeved cards, and then an additional 15 with half the cards unsleeved. They didn't say anything to you when you grabbed their deck to clarify “Hey, I only had 67 sleeves”, but their list does have the 15 cards (sleeved + un-sleeved) marked down. D/DLP? Friendly words suggesting he clarify this in the future?

This is still D/DL game loss. Other threads have confirmed that the line referring to cards obviously not part of the deck is used to refer to cards that may have come from opponents decks or other such places. If they have cards that could conceivably be played in their deck box that isn't a promo from the event or DFCs then it's game loss territory.
For Q2Only having half the SB cards sleeved isn't a problem this happens a lot. Especially if a sleeve breaks halfway through, it's not unusual to just grab a sideboard card sleeve and leave it unsleeved until needed and swap the sleeve on the fly.

The ‘GP Promo’ bit I was aware of, any links to those threads though? I'm terrible at searching forums for certain threads.

Here you go! ^_^http://apps.magicjudges.org/forum/topic/26748/

If you read the part under Philosophy for that infraction you can find the following, making it more clear:

Additionally, if there are extra cards stored with the sideboard that could conceivably be played in the player’s deck, they will be considered a part of the sideboard unless they are:
Promotional cards that have been handed out as part of the tournament.
Double-faced cards represented by checklist cards in the deck.
Double-faced cards being used to represent the ‘night’ side of cards in the deck.

These cards must not be sleeved in the same way as cards in the main deck and/or sideboard.

I resisted for a couple days, but I just *have* to nitpick… (it's what I do best!)

Policy doesn't mention “a different sleeve”, except as an example (what you quoted). The clause that matters is “The cards must not be sleeved in the same way…” - and “different sleeve” is not the same as “sleeved differently”; I would state that “no sleeves” is “sleeved differently”. :)
