I know little about catalytic converters and have no idea how accurate this catalog is, but what is it you can't figure out here?
About the Top-Left converter on the page for example, it APPEARS to say:

The total media contained inside is 230 Grams.
It contains 0.01 Grams of Platinum, 0.363 Grams of Palladium, and .008 Grams of Rhodium.
The red lines would appear to show where the media is located within the converter, and I'm guessing the red numbers are the size of the media block (honeycomb or pellets) in Centimeters?

If any of this is accurate then someone was mighty generous giving this information out.
 
what ive found buy going on sites that buy precious metals is you put a decimal point after the first number so if its showing 0.163 its not even worth scrapping the cat for you'd be better off selling on ebay.

but if you put it in as 1.63 grams then for me in the uk it comes up as £42.59 pence
but if you put it in as 0.163 its only £4.26pence ive found that myself that those catalogues dont really explain theirselves but i hope this helps.
