This link may have a bit more for you, but no angles. Nice example anyway...

I seems the tails and pins alternate on the side and the pins bevel out. The
end piece just has beveled pins.
This pic seems to show it the best.

Just do them - they're much easier than you'd think.
You need to be able to accurately saw a dovetail and have them
assemble straight off, without chisel work. It's useful to mark them
out on paper first (both halves), because the spacing is uneven and
it's easy to make a joint that simply doesn't match.
Yes I've seen that link too. I'm wondering what the angles are though. He's
also using a "modified" twisted dovetail.
