There's no source cited for those Wikipedia figures on the -8/-8F, and I'm afraid they're wrong. The main Wikipedia page on the 747-8 appears to match Boeing's figures.

The actual figures (Max Taxi Weight), per Boeing, are:
747-8: 990,000 lb/449,056 kg
747-8F: 978,000 lb/443,613 kg or 990,000 lb/449,056 kg (depending on option)

MTOW is 3,000 lb less than MTW.
