Ozpin missing, no news of Cinder. Then we get Salem, who's face looks like Cinder's. And Salem's hair? Same colour as Ozpin's. I think Ozpin attempted to merge with Cinder when they fought, but after merging Ozpin didn't have control over Cinder's body, and no features had risen because it was too soon. After Ruby weakened Cinder with her silver eyes, Ozpin was able to control her body and transported her to a different realm, which we see in "The Beginning Of The End". We don't know much about Ozpin's powers, so this could be possible. His semblence could be realm traveling. On his wiki page, it says he can move his cane at inhuman speeds with time dilation. So his name is not rellevant to a colour because he was alive before the great war, and with his time dilation, stopped his aging. With the time between the great war and present, Ozpin would have A LOT of time to learn something like realm traveling or merging if it is not his semblance. He also comfirms that some fairy tails are true, so my theory about him not aging would be supported by the fact that he can confirm these tales were true, because he was in that time period. For a minute, let's scrap this whole theory. Maybe his semblance is traveling through time and space? That would make sense too, he could have gone back to see the tales for himself AND travel through space to the realm we see at the end of "The Beginning Of The End". Let's continue about Salem. After Ozpin transported Cinder and himself to the new realm, Cinder regained some control, and with her Maiden powers, suppressed Ozpin, but not enough that his features from her body dissapeared. She also talks to him as if she is there with him at the end of TBOTE. They didn't gain eachothers powers, however, so the Oz/Cin hybrid Salem is now stuck in the realm, with Cinder's powers only. Why would she not have Ozpin's semblence? Because when they merged, Cinder's body was the vessel and her abilities were used by that body and not his. Maybe they merged by Oz going to the future with his semblence, and stealing some Atlas tech that could merge them. Maybe it was prototyped so when they merged, only Cinder's body used her powers. This could also explain why she couldn't "unmerge". Sorry for the long text XD
