>>Ciao Stefano,

>>well, I do not have scale counts available, but perhaps you should get hold of the original description of Python molurus pimbura DERANIYAGALA 1945. I guess there is a diagnosis that should point out the differences between the subspecimens, eventhough P.m. pimbura was not generally accepted.
Having had occasion to deal with Deraniyagala's species descriptions for other taxa, I would not hold my breath about there being much in the way of detail. Deraniyagala generally did not ask for much in the way of hard data to describe new taxa. Of course, there are others who are busy perpetuating this trend into the present day 
Cheers,
Wolfgang
