contents In this article, we look at real split semisimple algebraic groups $\mathsf{G}$ with trivial center and faithful irreducible algebraic representations $\mathtt{R}$ of $\mathsf{G}$ on some vector space $\mathsf{V}$ which admit zero as a weight and which are self-contragredient (for example, adjoint representation of $\mathsf{PSL}(n,\mathbb{R})$). We show that, there exist polynomials made out of Margulis invariants of $(g,X)\in\mathsf{G}\ltimes_\mathtt{R}\mathsf{V}$ which are also rational expressions in $(g,X)$. Moreover, we show that any Zariski dense finitely generated subgroup of $\mathsf{G}\ltimes_\mathtt{R}\mathsf{V}$, for which the linear parts of the non-identity elements are loxodromic, is isospectrally rigid with respect to the Margulis invariants. In particular, we show that Margulis--Smilga spacetimes are isospectrally rigid too.
