...Also when you see them from behind Wagdoh is much leaner compared to these Dudhwa boys. I have also posted a few videos of Dudhwa/Pilibhit Tigers and they look to be some of the largest cats I've seen on video as well.
Even tail circumference is a good indicator and while Dudhwa Tigers may have thicker fur they also have thicker tails regardless.
In regards to frame size, from what I've heard Waghodh isn't anything special in terms of height, he is said to be long though but trying to determine an inch or two difference from a fleeting glimpse is tough.

No... you can get frame size. The actual one, not estimations from photos & videos.

That's why i'm refering to the tracks, because you can actually get measurements with considerable accuracy.  
Yep, you can get the numbers as long as the animal's are crossing the track at right angle.

Irrespective of how wide the safari track is, there's one distance that can never change, the distance between Maruti Gypsys wheels, be it wide tracks...

...or narrow ones.

That distance is static, it's 1210 cm. Consider some ±20cm variation due to vegetation.

So. it need not be about how an animals size looks or seems like... There's no need to guesstimate when one can have a yardstick to measure with & get numbers.

I intend to start a seperate thread shortly, but for now take an example with those three.
Resized by the track-width, the first two photos are very comparable as both tigers are at same angle & photos have been from same angle. The third one by @johnny rex however is not comparable that way due to major difference in camera angle & the animal's posture too. The closest you can come is match the width of the track at its front paws like the others.
