"Some Panthera spelaea fossilis specimens are huge with the skull of over 19 inches long, but proportionally narrower and less robust."

"​Although the longest skull of the Panthera spelaea fossilis is 485mm, but it was proportionally narrower and less robust."

"That 19 inches skull is virtually impossible for any cat in the history, and even the largest Cromerian lion has reached this length, but still nowhere close to the overall dimension."

So these cats had narrow elongated skulls unlike the modern tigers and lions ?
Do you have any model pics of how these cats would have looked (I mean the skull and head) ?
 

 

I have read the paper in last year, but i didn't manage to save it.

Maybe Guate still has the paper right now.

Yes, these Cromerian lions don't have robust skull, pretty much elongated, and the canines are also proportionally smaller.
