Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

Here is a comparison between Branders big male and Hicks two big males mentioned. I'm also adding the other one I posted about from Karantaka

All between the pegs, branders is chest girth while the other two are unspecified but most likely around the abdomen since the size is large. 

Branders                                                 Khara Tiger shot by Hick's son                                                                    Ghogri Tiger shot by Hicks.                                              Mysore State Tiger Shot by Hicks                                                                                                    
59'' body girth                                         66'' Body Girth (most likely around the abdomen)                                          75'' Body girth (most likely around the abdomen)                    64'' Body Girth (most likely around the abdomen)
39'' Head                                                38 1/2'' Head                                                                                             37'' Head                                                                            42'' Head
21'' Forearm girth                                    18'' Forearm girth                                                                                       19 1/2'' Forearm girth                                                          19'' Forearm Girth 
43'' shoulder height                                 48'' Shoulder Height (possibly to tip of paw)                                                  48'' Shoulder Height (possibly to tip of paw)                           49'' Shoulder Height (possibly to tip of paw)
7'3'' Body Length                                     7 1/2'' Body Length                                                                                    6'11'' Body Length                                                               Total Length 9'7'' (around 6'10'' Body length est*)
2'8'' Tail Length                                       3' Tail Length                                                                                             2'10'' Tail Length 


So assuming the body girth is around the abdomen for the other two lets just say chest girth is similar, Ghogri male was quoted as being the heavier of the two from Hicks though so we can say Ghogri and Branders have the same chest girth while the Khara Male was a little smaller. But it could be different, the two males from Hicks could have larger chest girths as well so keep that in mind. 
The head size from Branders is slightly larger than the other two.
The forearm girth from Branders was a bit larger than the other two.
The shoulder height was quite a bit shorter from Branders but I'd guess the other two were probably measured to the paw while Branders was measured to the beginning of the heel pad. So regardless I'd still think the other two were a bit taller at the shoulder than Branders.
Body Length again favors Branders and Tail length is less meaningful since it doesn't hold much weight. 

Overall, the 3 should be in the 600lb range, I'd favor Branders over the other two if the measurement differences are as I state, but if they aren't then that'd be a different ballgame and the other two would most likely be the much heavier cats. 
We'll see what you guys think. 

*Mysore Male* 
He has a huge head but seems to be a little shorter in body while being the tallest amongst them. 
He'd probably be close to the 600lb range as well, maybe a little less but not by much. 
All of them are massive Tigers, no doubt.
