The A7CA archive contains technical drawings originating from Longbridge, including one of a later (semi Girling) front end. One can measure the angle of the brake lever which is circa 12 degrees of "lead"- I just used a protractor on the screen. Looking at your photos I think it is probable that your brake cams are machined correctly but I have come across after market brake cams in the past that are machined with a much greater"lead", indeed I have two such in my possession.
It is also my experience that small differences at the operating end of the system have a large influence, so it may be worth reversing the cotters.
