At this point, the individual axle weights are not of much value.
The rear axle weight doesn't tell us much until the loaded trailer is attached.
It's much more likely that the GVWR would be exceeded before either GAWR would be exceeded.
The TV's GVW is the critical factor and it can be determined without knowing the individual axle loads.

Disagree whole heartedly.....
Once the rear axle weight is determined at the scale then subtract this from the rear axle weight on the door tag. This will give them a baseline on how much payload they have left for tongue weight..( Or any other items or persons.)
Payload is based on axle weights.
You can go over your gvwr if needed..
