AFAIK, IH used the same sections in the knife for the Cub sickle mower as they did on all their other sickle mowers. So that would mean that the grinding angle for the sections would be the same.
Grand-dad used a commercially-built sickle bar grinder to sharpen sickel mower knives.

The grinding wheel was suspended from a spring. So you ground one surface of two adjacent sections at a time.
And that's the only kind of sickle sharpener I ever saw at my family's IH farm equipment shop. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the sickle grinder's still there today, but I'm not sure if it still works.
