So I know (without checking WM) that it should be a 424d or 462a. My question is why are the left and right side so angled? They don't seem to be very straight compared to most (though I haven't checked them all) bottom boomlet pairs I have.

Looks hand-trimmed (scissors) to me, likely prior to use. Too narrow side-to-side (and non-parallel) to be from a booklet pane IMO.

Kind of what I was thinking too, but the bottom looks so straight.

Could this pair be from the bottom of a full sheet and the reason you have a nice straight edge at the bottom? Then scissor cut on the sides?

But a bottom pair would still be perforated at the bottom I thought.
