Sadly, there is no picture (as far I know) of any of the 6 exceptional males, except for the incredibly realistic paint of the tiger of 320 kg from Nepal.

However, what I can share is the document where it is mentioned:

The document is from 1930 and is about Indian lions, with a brief mention on the tiger weight. Here is the relevant part:

In this case, following the criteria of Slaght et al. (2005) this tiger will be classified as средненадежные - medium reliable as even when the source is secondary, the author talked directly with the original hunter and there is evidence that the animal was actually weighed (for example, other body measurements) and there are details of how was weighed, so it can be included in the records, just like the tiger of 320 kg of Smythies.
