I've made a sample piece using aluminium to pass over to my dad to test fit. While working on it, I realised that I'm unable to figure out the depth of the taper in a 5.5mm hole and it's angle from the sample given. I believe it to be either a 60 or 90 degree taper, but how can I confirm that? and, how To find out how deep I need to drill with the c/sink bit to match the sample?
The one on the left is the sample given to me, by a machine shop which is no longer interested in the business due to the smallish quantity of 50 pieces per order. The one on the right is the aluminium piece I did for test fitting.

The original piece that came with the machine on the right. It is badly worn from
The spinning magnet. I'll put in the 5mm diameter notch which the machine shop left out, but present on the original to keep the bushing from moving.

Is there a way to figure it out?
