Yeah those Peugeots took a really deep "facet" didn't they? We used to buy cotters from Peugeot with that shape in them already, but those'll be long gone now. Other than the hassle of more grinding/filing to get there, I liked the Peugeot shape because the deeper cut made a wider interface, less likely for the spindle to make those notches that you get when the pin isn't in tight enough. All pretty theoretical though since with good quality cotters, just about any angle or depth of cut can be durable enough if installed correctly.
