I wrote 9 degrees from memory. I couldn't locate the previous discussion.

It appears in a good number of sets. Many Insectoid sets (six or more), at
least three Spaceport sets, and the Mos Espa Podrace set.

Hmm. I wonder what caused the variation. A few ideas:
1. Differences between the molds in the mold?[1]
-- No, because you have two "2-02" pieces at different angles.
3. Mishandling of the pieces after molding? Were they demolded too soon, and
the plate got bent?
-- Seems unlikely, the plates would have been misshapen--saggy, or curved.
2. Are the plates attached to the disks after molding?
-- I can't check this right now, I don't have any handy.

If you make this piece, go for the square 90 degree angle. The small angle
would be a big pain to match when building a model.
