Forming a coalition? Did these two male lions get kicked out or lost to another pride?

Looking at them from behind, it seems they're subadults, so maybe they have gone off independent.

The Paradise Pride of lions were seen near Topi flats which is the south fan of Rhino Ridge, they had killed a warthog and had eaten all of it, there were three lionesses, six cubs and three of the musketeers, Scar was on his own and his rear legs and hips are still weak, Sikio was seen eating the remains of the warthog with four cubs, this indicates altruistic behaviour meaning recognition of kin. Two cubs were seen fighting over the remains of the warthog kill and this caused immediate friction with two lionesses and two male lion and these two lion then immediately picked on Scar and amazingly he held his ground.

On the last two pics, notice the parallel with the case of the Charleston males in the Sabi Sands. The cubs were perfectly fine and save with their fathers, eating at their sides, until suddenly a lioness decides to "protect them" from the bad and violent male...
