Nice to see the dyno on all 3, but until I am passed by a Dyno going up the hill I prefer the real world load tests for reference.
The big problem with your idea is that you are never comparing apples to apples. This is why REAL WORLD data is the dyno. And it is a level playing field no driver is affecting the outcome as is the case in tests where different drivers drive different trucks (even with the same payload) over the same course.
I would not say these results are close in percentage terms but in actual towing you may not "feel" much difference. That does not mean the differences are not there or that they don't matter.
