The top pic, the two surfaces look parallel, from what I can see.

And are those concave/convex washers the exact same size as those on V-brakes? I haven't seen same on any disc caliper, but then I haven't seen many.
the cup portions are the "thin" aluminum ones used on v-brake pads... and the steel cones are the same ones.
