Measured in different ways.
Volkel was measured over the curves and in the ALRUP protocol which measures from his gum line, over the lip and nose then across his body.

And Branders male had a 149cm chest girth with a body length of 221cm but measured in a straight line so most likely a bit longer than Volkel as well, probably by 1-2'', his true measurements are also more reliable compared to  Hobatere’s measurements (Volkel) as well which have numerous errors.

Just to give you an idea here is Leo said to be 247cm in HBL or 97'' and 145cm in SH or 57,'' both would be records by a long shot yet this male weighed 213kg and in no way is he close to those measurements.
