I'm actually looking into that book The Story of Asia's Lions, by Divyabhanusinh, there are lion sculptures and depictions all over the place in India, it appears more so  than the tiger surprisingly.  As well interesting to note there is picture called the A Lions Court. By Miskin, 1596-97 It states in the book, This painting from the Anwar-i-Suhaili shows the lion as the King of the animal world - a position rarely accorded to the tiger.

I did see the measurements of the Asiatic lions in the back of the book, most only length is mentioned, some chest girths and height are, but the author seems to think Asiatic lion and African lion would be of similar size.  Perhaps if they had the larger numbers they would be.
