Since the only weighed leopards from Congo Basin are two unhealthy males that were around 40 kgs, are we sure we can't consider these two adult males from DR Congo?
+80 kg Male, he has a really nice color coat this is clearly a rainforest male

Ok it's hunter records don't know how much reliable they are but if they are their weights are above the average and are from DR Congo, maybe it's true that leopards there grow really larger than savannah ones?
I am still skeptical, we need more data kn them.
In my opinion the largest ones in Africa are from :
1)Aberdares/Lake Nakuru/Kenyan Highlands
2)Kwa Zulu Nataal.
3) Sabi Sands

These leopards are from Central African Republic (CAR) and not from DR Congo. I don't think DR Congo is on the list of countries where it's legal to trophy hunt.
Leopards from this country fall under Central African ones and thus count as rainforest leopards despite the country having more savanna's/forest-savanna mosaic rather than rainforests.
Anyway, those leopards look well-sized although we have to consider some factors such as possible stomach content.

About an encounter with a leopard:
"Once in the morning they met a leopard while walking their observation lines on a watercourse. The cat was so frightened that it jumped onto the three-meter-high bank and fled. But leopards and lions are "phantoms", says Aebischer. "We surely passed dozens of leopards without noticing their presence." Often they found fresh tracks. "Big cats generally avoid people in the chinko," says Aebischer."
