I have read many threads about the front curvature, but they are usually dismissed under the banner that the big gains are in the rear, but this information seems to suggest this is not quite the whole truth.

I know, right? But with no intervening posts, nothing was gained by quoting the whole thing.
I'd even go so far a to say that the facetting isn't a problem. The dihedral angles are less than 10° and the air sees a shallower angle everywhere except the bands running around the front-rear 'equator'. I suspect at some undetermined frequency the effect would be like golf-ball dimples, reattaching flow.
I went to all the trouble because this relates to a post I promised months ago about my Clark Cortez motor home.
