Will, I checked the rear brake levers. They, as well as the photos in Andrews Vol I, have the clevis angled out toward the backing plate (see p 1-43). Maybe I am misinterpreting your comment?

Aha, they should angle
away from the backing plate. Think about it, the brake lever at the back wheel is further out from the center line of the car than the lever on the cross shaft is. The brake rod (in red in the crude sketch below) has to angle inward from the backing plate toward the cross shaft, so the clevis in the backing plate lever has to be angled to allow that.
