What's the name of this book? I noticed you posted data of the Asiatic lion and Indian tiger too so surely it's related to Asian trophy animals? This is the first time I see a leopard exceeding 300 mm in skull length and also the first time I see a leopard skull of 20" in total score. Very impressive as the top 3 skulls are lioness-sized skulls. 

Also worth noting is that the Persian leopard skulls originate from North of Iran. The absolute biggest are from the Mazandaran province in northern Iran, others are from northeastern (e.g. Tandoureh National Park) or northwestern Iran. In the provinces of Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan you find the biggest Persian leopards with certainty.

For comparison, the Rowland Ward's leopard record skull scored 19":
