Hi Firstram
That doesn't surprise me at all. The primary reason the brushes are angled like that is to adjust the armature magnetic field forward relative to the stator magnetic field increasing motor efficiency. The brush configuration is called "Reaction Brush Gear".
Edit: It also increases the amount of width of brush that can be presented to the commutator for a given brush size.
