I just clamp the blades in the Axi guide you show. It works for me.

Regarding bevel angles: at best approximate - it doesn't really matter, I think - these planes are metal-guided skew chisels really. The detatchable nose is only for alignment. It doesn't serve to change the 'mouth' as in a Bailey plane.

I'd guess someone took the corner off to keep fingers intact. It's so tempting to set both sides, "just in case", then end up sucking whichever finger you were careless with!

A good many years ago now, before Veritas brought out a skew jig for their Mk II honing guide, I wrote up a few methods for honing skew blades. This included the Stanley #79.

These days what I prefer is to hollow grind the bevel, and then simply freehand on the hollow. Quick and easy.
