The skull width (bizygomatic width) of the Siberian tiger is three times the width of its frontal bone between the eye sockets. So, I take the width of the frontal bone of the Siberian tiger to measure the total bizygomatic width of Lionzilla skull using the picture that shows a comparison between them and I got something between from 10+ inches to 11 inches for the width of the Lionzilla skull. For the length, I got 16 inches or maybe a few milimeters more for the Lionzilla skull. So I think the size mentioned in the original page of the Lionzilla skull in ebay got inflated a little bit.

Good calculation @johnny rex, but remember that like @epaiva pictures shows, there is always a distortion in the pictures caused by the difference of the distance of the skull and the cammera.

So taking in count your calculations and the diference of the distance, I am sure now that this is the extra-large lion skull and the size is 39.3 L x 27.8 W or 15 ½" L x 11" W. 

It seems that my appreciation on the canines was incorrect, my bad.  

383 mm is 15.08 inches. I think the length of the Siberian tiger skull is exactly at 15 inches or even one or two milimeters less. Look at this photo below @epaiva shared previously.
