Most scars are from females or from slaps of the brothers when is feeding time, this notion that the sacrs are from fights with rivals is exaggerated.

That's because there isn't, and that I'm aware of, those two never fought a 1 vs 1. 

There was one time where the two caught Dark mane alone because the fool chased them alone, and they gave him a beating until Golden mane arrived, but that's it. 

It's probably the most physical contact they ever had, because the rest of the time, the numbers the Majingilane had meant that a fight wasn't needed.

Hear you on the scars.  Majority defo come from brothers.  Those lionesses get pretty ratty after mating too!

I had a look back through them again today and saw the one you mentioned with GM licking his wounds but nobody could give a true story on the numbers involved and what truly happened (like all lion confrontations) and aside from another video on londo blog with them running back and forth all day roaring.  There's another one of puncture wounds in DM chin but not sure if it's related to the same conflict or a separate one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KUeFeOUSgo Yep.  Those majingilanes were a solid unit.  They stuck together well and kept the matimbas at bay.
