Bottom door hinge - bottom tab angle to door?

I'm starting bodywork on my '78 C10. The hinges (not just the bushings) were worn out so I bought replacements. The new ones don't have an angle on the bottom tab of the bottom hinge where it's supposed to attach to the door. Is it supposed to be bent to meet the door or did my original door and hinge bend that much over time?

In this picture the bottom hinge is bolted flat to the door jamb, the door is bolted flat to the top tab on the hinge and this is what the bottom tab of the hinge looks like at the door. I'm assuming there needs to be a bit of bend on the hinge tab but, on the other hand, it doesn't seem like there should be an indent in the door at that location.
