The Ford Barn

I am making new floor boards from scratch without originals for patterns
The drawings of floor boards by SW design show the angle of the upper front board as 45 degrees on the lower front floor board drawing and as 34.3 degrees on the upper front floor board drawing
Which is correct?
Many thanks
Keith

There both right.

The upper board passes to meet the bottom of the floor board, and the floor board butts to the upper board, hence two different angles.

I noticed a missing dimension on there also, for the late lower front drawing transmission cutout area, there is no dimension as to how deep that should be (near the 11/16 radius area, anybody know that dimension? It is 8 1/8 inch wide.
