Looks like a serious challenge. From the design, it appears the V grooves are the most critical feature in that you would have to get the center distance and depths VERY close to perfect to have it register consistently.
That of course is me assuming the T-slot is used to pull the block onto the V grooves. Wow, I could see a lot of time spent on those.
I do have a grinding wheel setup (wheel mounted on arbor and dressed) that's a 90º shape. We could plunge one to a given depth, crank the table over by the exact distance of center to center of the V and plunge the second. That would be far faster than four setups on V blocks, and more consistent. I imagine it's best to do that final grind on a multiple of them.
