Generally speaking you are right because various explosives have different explosive power for the same mass. Yet for US torps I scaled all their weights to the same explosive i.e. Torpex. Thus we can compare US torps each other.
German torps used Hexanite as filler which has almost similar to Torpex explosive power as I think. Besides on this great technical website I found data about their real weights that were increasing during the war from 260 kg to 420 kg. Yet their filler was always Hexanite.
