Dean,
You are very observant! The picture of the V-notchs on the gun in the original post are cut as more as a "V" rather than the radiused "U" of the repro.
My guess it was a design evolution that morphed from V to U over time or possibly the actioneer would file these to more of the U as he custom fit the safety for smooth operation. The gun shown on page 142 of TPS seems to be more of the V type cut.
Here's a link to the original post.
