Tire Pressure 6 Corner Concerns
Here’s the weight on one of the free Oregon scales which appeared to be mostly level off to the side. Note that I measured the total and right side and the left side is the difference. Front right ...

It was not clear to me if you arrived at the total axle weight by adding the two sides or actually weighing the axle. From your math it appears you added the two sides.
Just for the sake of argument, lets say the slope of the ground and the scales shifted weight to the side being weighed. If you just add the right and left, then you will arrive at a total weight that is higher than actual. On the other hand if the slope unloaded the side on the scale, the actual axle weight could be even higher than what you calculated.
I would think it would be a good sanity check to put both tires of an axle on the scale and use that measurement to verify the side to side.
