Both of my boards are louvered, as were the boards they replaces. I
suppose I don't know if the boards that came with my boat were
"original", sine other teak had been replaced. If you have the ambition,
maqking them both louvered permits greater airflow.

With respect to the angles, the surfaces where the two boards abut is
beveled about 45 degrees on both boards. The top of the top board and
the bottom of the bottom board are not cut 90 degrees, but I think the
angles are quite shallow. If your current board is not a good fit, I'd
suggest that you make a plywood template or in some other manner make
sure that the sangles are right. I can;t get to the board for another
month or so, since the boat is under tarps, but if you still need info
then, I can try to help.
