The totenkopf most strongly associated with white supremacists is a 3/4 view with crossed bones behind it. A skull by itself doesn't have a ton of meaning; could just mean that the person is goth. The image used in the chart doesn't look like the symbol most commonly used by white supremacists.
The wolfsangel symbol isn't correct; I don't know what that symbol is, but it's not a wolfsangel. A wolfsangel looks like a Z with a crossbar in the middle.
That should be written as an oþala rune; the 'þ' isn't a 'd' sound, it's a form of the 'th' sound, along with 'ð'. As with all other runes, it's essentially just an alphabet letter. When used by white supremacists, it usually has the ends turned up, but not always.
There are other symbols that get used by white supremacists, but these are the most common.
