I have to go look at your pictures (haven't seen them yet), but when I sell my puppies I tell people that I don't know how much they will weigh. People call on the phone and say "I don't want mine to weigh more than 3 pounds full grown". and I say "I can't say for sure what a pup will weigh becuase I have no idea what you are going to feed it". I know you can tell that a runt will be the smallest, but littermates turn out so differently sometimes as adults that you can't tell they are even related. Color, weight, etc. I am surprised by them sometimes, the one I think will be the biggest may change during the 6th and 7th week and a smaller one will catch up to its size. In one litter I had, a pup weighed 3 lbs when it went, he was quite chunky, and its littermate wighed 3 pounds as an adult. This probably wasn't helpful at all.

I want to add that I do tell them how much the parents weigh. I have never had a complaint.
