The 185 at 10 degrees does still round up to 19 though, maybe a late war "improvement". or just an error dont know.

Such discrapancies can usually be explained by differences in the way thickness and angle are measured and possibly small differencies in plate thickness between different batches of armour.
A detailed British report on a captured Tiger II reported 180mm at 10 degrees for the turret front while a less detailed British intelligence report gave 185mm at 10 degrees. Data from German sources seems to give 180mm at 9 or 10 degrees.
