This wide Saltie skull is believed to come from Java, Indonesia. Anyway, Lolong's dorsal skull length (from the tip of the snout to the back of skull table) is 70 cm but narrower at 45 cm.

Thank you @johnny rex 
I read in some sources that biggest saltie is >2 tonns. How far is it reliable? Then, if that giant lurks in water, even an African adult Bush Elephant healthy prime aged tusker can be overpowered, ripped, drowned and eaten alive in water by this giant 2 ton croc  of its kind (imagine him in this giant saltie's natural habitat)!

Measurements of Lolong
Lolong was one of the largest crocodiles ever measured from snout to tail, he was a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) measured 6.17 m (20 ft 3 in) and weighed 1,075 kg (2,370 lb),he died in captivity on 10 February 2013 from pneumonia and cardiac arrest.
In November 2011, Australian crocodile expert Dr. Adam Britton of National Geographic sedated and measured Lolong in his enclosure and confirmed him as the world's largest crocodile ever caught and placed in captivity.
Lolong was caught in a Bunawan creek in the province of Agusan del Sur in the Philippines on 3 September 2011.

Thanks @epaiva 
So lolongs skull is about 3''s shorter than the Cambodian Specimen.
Is there more measurements for that Specimen as well?

That's a shame, I still wonder the correlation between skull size and body length, I'm assuming the others mentioned with shorter skulls than Lolong but Wider still were shorter in length, correct?
