I think that its splitting hairs to think that their climb angles were that much different than the optimum climb angles at those altitudes.
I understand that the steeper the angle the faster the climb, its just that in that context you'd have less height after the initial zoom, and then the extended time to
climb would be lower because you'd be climbing at 165IAS for a longer duration than if you maximized your speed by using a shallower (optimum) angle.
