Yes, stall torque does scale proportionally with voltage, because increasing the supply voltage will increase the stall current.

Torque-per-ampere does not scale; it is the same constant (given by the magnetic flux linkage, which of course does not change) for all voltages.

When I get some time I will create a reduced version of the measured curves for speed vs. torque and power vs. torque, at each of the test voltages for each motor. We recorded too many data points to include the raw file.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
