Illegal since getting all possible 8 white and 4 black promotions with only 4 captured black pawns requires white to get doubled pawns on each file pair a-b, c-d, e-f, and g-h, inconsistent with the remaining white e and f pawns. Note that leaving white pawns on for example f and g files would have made this legal.
