Intro
In 1900 (May-24), MGA and his team of writers argued that Allah made a secret prophecy about Dhul-Qarnayn and it is fulfilled in this era, via MGA (See the Al-Hakam, vol. 6, no. 19, dated 24 May 1902, pp. 5-7, via Malfuzat-4, online English edition, page 261).
In 1904, MGA made the claim that he is Dhulqarnain in Lecture Lahore (see page 65-67).
In 1908 (Jan-9), MGA claimed to be Zul-Qarnain, via Surah al-Kahf (See the al-Badr, vol. 7, no. 1, p. 11-12, dated 9 January 1908, Via Malfuzat-10, online English edition, pages 86-87).
In 1908 (Oct), MGA claims to be Dhul-Qarnain. He claims that the Quranic verses of Chapter 18, verses 83–103 (see page 146-155 of the online English version of BA5) are all about himself (MGA), specifically, 18:83, which would be 18:84 in the Qadiani-Ahmadi quran, since they add a verse to every chapter. MGA and his team of writers mention the word Dhul-Qarnain 28 times in this book.
In 1908 (Dec), MGA is related to have said in April-1908, that the Zul-Qarnain mentioned in the Holy Quran is somebody different and Alexander the Great is some other person. Some
people think the two are the same. It [Zul-Qarnain] means one who partakes of two centuries (See the al-Badr, vol. 8, no. 7–9, p. 3, dated 24, 31 December 1908, Via Malfuzat-10, online English edition, page 294).
In 1913 (Feb), via the ROR of February-1913 also claims that MGA is the same Dhul Qarnain who was mentioned in the Quran.
In 1918 (Jun), via the ROR of June-1918, MGA is the same Dhul Qarnain who was mentioned in the Quran.
In 1941, the ROR of Nov-1941 and Dec-1941 has an essay by Maulvi Sher Ali about “Dhul Qarnain”, in it, he argues that MGA was Dhul Qarnain.

In 1900 (May-24), MGA and his team of writers argue that Allah made a secret prophecy about Dhul-Qarnayn and it is fulfilled in this era (i.e., via MGA)(See the Al-Hakam, vol. 6, no. 19, dated 24 May 1902, pp. 5-7, via Malfuzat-4, online English edition, page 261).

Lecture Lahore page 73
“””””The meaning which God has disclosed to me is that when this verse is read along with the preceding and following verses, it constitutes a prophecy about the Promised Messiah and specifies the time of his advent. To elaborate this point, let me say that the Promised Messiah is also Dhulqarnain, because the Arabic word qarn connotes a century, and this verse indicates that the birth and advent of the Promised Messiah will span two centuries. And this clearly applies to me, for I have lived in two centuries according to every calendar I know of, be it Islamic, Christian or Bikrami, and my birth and advent have not been confined to a single century, and, in this sense, I am Dhulqarnain. In some Traditions, too, the Promised Messiah has been called Dhulqarnain in this very sense.””””
Notice how he says “some traditions” without giving specific references. Given that there are thousands of traditions that are fabricated, not giving the references makes the claim very weak. It does not allow for double checking. Its just an assertion.
But his argument hinges on the “span 2 centuries” claim. This was not demonstrated but rather just stated as another assertion. If, for the sake of argument, the verse did imply “span 2 centuries”, that is not enough to make a definitive judgement on who is Dhulqarnain. After all, it cannot be that simply anyone who claimed to be a messiah at a change of century would qualify.

Quotes from BA5
“”””God Almighty has also named me Dhul-Qarnain, for God’s revelation regarding me says:
جری الّٰل فی حُلَلِ الانبیاء
which means, ‘The Messenger of God in the mantle of all the past Prophets as’, requires that I should also have the characteristics of Dhul- Qarnain, since it is proven from Surah al-Kahf that he, too, was a recipient of revelation. God says concerning him:
قُلْنَا يٰذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ1
So, in keeping with the revelation:
جری الّٰل فی حُلَلِ الانبیاء
[The Messenger of God in the mantle of all the past Prophets, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon them.]
I have come as Dhul-Qarnain for this Ummah. And the Holy Quran””””””
