If the 'upper' radii were also applied to the 'bottom', you would essentially have re-created the 'GM OPTIMUM Fairing' ( boat tail ) of 1980, a 'known quantity'; and I could, with a clear conscience, tell you that a 20-degree top, 10-degree sides, and 10-degree bottom, would net you the lowest drag coefficient.
