Ron, I have several copies/sets of 1911 blueprints, from Dept of the Army Rock Island Arsenal, Dept of the Army Springfield Arsenal, and from US Armament Research & Development Command, Dover New Jersey. They have mixed dates on the prints within the sets, some are marked revisions, some not. There's 1928 dates, 1936, even a 1960. I stopped checking.
In addition, I imagine Colt made numerous changes to their Government Model over the years. The grip angle may have been one of them.
