I think these just correspond to the splines on the old connectors which they replace. I haven't checked it, but I think the splines are every 12.5 degrees. The connectors are too chunky to make accute angles, so they only do the obtuse angles: 0.0 (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I suspect the crux of your answer lies in the 3-4-5 triangle. [NOT! read on to see why this isn't true!] The complements of 112.5 and 157.5 degrees are 67.5 and 22.5 degrees.
