Further research regarding the brake assembly, oleo strut and tire/wheel sizes of the following variants using Ersatzteil-Listen (Parts Lists) - all numbers for left side landing gear:

Bf 109F, Ersatzteil-Liste, April, 1941.

Oleo Strut - 8-2787.05
Brake Assy. - 8-2121 A-3
Tire/Wheel Size - 650 x 150

Bf 109G, Ersatzteil-Liste, March, 1942.

Oleo Strut - 8-2787.11
Brake Assy. - 8-3607 A-3
Tire/wheel Size - 660 x 160

Bf 109G, Ersatzteil-Liste, January, 1944.

Oleo Strut - 8-2787.13
Brake Assy. - 8-3607 A-3
Tire/Wheel Size - 660 x 160

Bf 109K, Ersatzteil-Liste, July, 1944.

Oleo Strut - 8-2787.15
Brake Assy. - 8-2106 A-1
Tire/Wheel Size - 660 x 190

After reviewing the above Modification Directive and parts list data I've come to the conclusion the angle of the axle was not changed, but only lengthened to accommodate the change in brake assembly and tire/wheel width. I would love to be proved incorrect in this. If anyone has primary source material please post!
