You have a really good illustration of what I'm trying to do and the jig looks like it would be a good way to go.You mentioned production and repeats so a little time on a fixture might be worth it. My approach would be to do the profile and mounting holes first and save the angled holes until your last operation. I mocked up my approach for you in a way that could be all manually machined. The angle could be simply laid out with scribes and referenced in the vise for the fixture block machining. The holes on your finished part are used fasten the part in place which is located by one ledge and the dowel pin.

Production?
Make a fixture that the part bolts to that holds it in the correct position.
Fixture can be just a chunk of metal large enough for your vice to hold with the top at an angle that would allow the needed work to be vertical.
Your part has mounting holes so easy.

I'm having the blanks waterjet cut so I can't leave them rectangle but there's 2 parallel edges to start with.
The fixture method might be the way to go. I have a bunch of starter blocks I could make a jig from. I'd just need to mill a 30ᴼ face to get it on the right track.
