So the weight that you typically see listed as "gross" or "maximum" takeoff weight on websites (10,800lbs) is different (higher) than the weights listed in those documents? Would the higher weight be with bombs or droptanks while these weights are "clean" fighter config with full internal fuel?
I'm not questioning the validity of your source, I'm just trying to understand why the differences in the weights. I'd guess it is from a different system for listing weights, IE the US listed their planes as absolute max takeoff weight, while the weights listed in your documents are max clean fighter weight (no droptanks or bombs/rockets), so that "max takeoff weight" could be significantly higher which is were the 10,800lbs figure comes from. This could be confused and could incorrectly give the "clean" fighter weight for the A-8 as much more than it should be. Your doc listed the A-8 as 4272kg/9418lbs, thats a 625kg/1382lb difference which I can only guess is from a different loadout.
