These beasts where dominant in area around Skukuza  from around 2007(?) and where pride males of Sand River pride all the way to around 2010/11 when they moved deeper into Kruger and takeover Renosterkoppies pride, where they sired Renosterkoppies males and prob many more of which we dont know of.. Its unknown what happened to them after that but prob age caught them.. 
From rangers words they where very big lions with massive manes as we can see..

Dominant around Skukuza at the same time as Old Sand River males, they where dominant over Skukuza/Hilda's Rock pride, apparently they where 3 of them at the beggining, but after 2010 only 1 was seen with the pride, later on around 2012 he was apperantly killed by Toulon males..

They sired 2 litter of males in Skukuza/Hilda's Rock pride, 3 males born in 2008 (later known as Sand River males) and 4 males born in 2010 (4 Skukuza males, later to be known as Kumana males). 

Theres not much photos of them, but i found photos of this male around Skukuza in 2010, i think its one of the Old Skukuza males:
