Southen Avocas took over the Sand River pride in early 2020, after 5th Mantimahle abandoned them. That put the older 1-1,5 years old cub in a strange place on a timeline. Especially as I assume the Sand River young males mentioned above were pushed out rather than leaving by their own choosing. Or did the Southern Avocas mated with the pride lionesses even before believing the male cub is their or something?

That would explain it, if Charlestons let cubs alive after a takeover and it would make her bit older which would explain her surviving later takeovers.

S. Avocas definitely have been with Sand Rivers before start of 2020.. Prob from around mid 2019 after their Sparta cubs where born..

Here is photo of that male cub/subadult in September 2020, 5/6 months ago, from Kirkmans Kamp :

Maybe not yet 1.5 yrs old, but definitely close and over 1 yrs old, born prob around late 2019/early 2020..

Sand River young males are out in Kruger. Reply
