Im not so sure if thats missing male or Dark Maned one.

How many young males on the sighting?

Only one at the sighting. 

Here are some snapshots from the video to see if it helps with IDs

Here is Further isolation of WP for the sightings of the lions from same profile (as best as I could find):

To me, they’re three different Young Males.  Your thoughts?

This is definitely not Blondie male, debate is between Dark Maned one and 3rd one (missing male).

Here are Dark Maned one right whisker spots :

Definitely Two separate males.  The Tintswalo sighting spots have a very distinct triangle that is absent in the other YM

This is very very clear. That WP is very clear.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get this side profile from the Tintswalo video for better view.   Lemme see if I can try finding a better frame.

Well, based of matching scars on his face, looks like Dark Maned male, and not 3rd, missing one..

Dont know what happened to his right whisker, it prob got scratched, maybe different angle and not best quality of photos, quite weird:
