Actually that dead Persian leopard is quite massive, I'd say probably 80kg or more. Here's a rough comparison with a similar picture of an adult male from South Africa which if I recall correctly weighed 60kg. The Iranian cat appears much bigger, with a more massive head and huge forelimbs and paws.

Yes, I think you're right it is M1 (Houdini) but he weighed 59kg. See: http://www.iec.monash.edu/science/about/schools/biological-sciences/research/leopards/docs/ecojournal-2003.pdf and http://carlwalker.zenfolio.com/blog/2013/4/tyson-houdini---two-male-leopards-and-an-unfair-battle In any case, the Iranian leopard looks much bigger, by about 30-50% IMO.
