As far as I know, the mensural noteheads currently use 45 degree sides,
resulting in a square shape (45+45=90, 45+45=90).  The mensural fa clef
(that one consisting of square noteheads) uses 35 degree sides,
resulting in a rhombic (35+35=70, 55+55=110) form.  Is that what you
are looking for?

I could not find these specific examples (is there an excerpt somewhere
in the MGG?), but I had a look at various other of Petrucci's printings
in the MGG.  Looks to me, that the C clef has a slightly longer stem
at its left side.  The G clef looks quite different than what we
currently have, but there seems to be no real consensus about the
shape of the G clef at that time.  Lily's current G clef tries to
make some compromise between the various G clefs.  Any help to
improve the clefs and/or add new styles is appreciated! :-)

Seems this property has been obsoleted (Han-Wen/Jan?).
