Here you go, the first video already appears in Vintage section in Wild Fact, the second i found in Youtube. In addition, in National library of Nepal, there are some pictures of royal hunts during those time, with some sequence photos even showing a bull elephant pushing a tiger in mid-air with it's trunk while it attacked, but these ancient B/W photographs are so old it looks like a retouched painting. Size wise those tigers look big but hard to just predict if they were bigger than present ones or not, the place definetely seems to be wilder though with huge elephant grass covering everything.

Check out how they measured the tigress in the 2nd video.
