I'd have to agree with thinking Gross = Gross at the time of weighing. I suspect that whilst there has been much debate about ethics of the number of illegal vehicles on our roads the real problem is when something goes wrong whilst overloaded. For example your insurance is at risk if found to be overloaded and you also fall foul of transport laws. I've not directly heard of anyone getting pinged for this but there has been plenty of third hand examples to suggest that some of the State Transport Deps have targeted overloaded non commercial vehicles.
Kind regards
