I'd be surprised if there is a screen (angle) difference on the MIDs. The MID's dispaly panel is mounted parallel to the chassis front panel, at least on the E53. Photos of the E39 MID show that it appears to be the same.
Of course, you've had both in your hands so you'll know more!
I know the whole MID is mounted at a different angle in E53, compared to the E39. This is what causes the viewing angle issues on the LCD NAV screen when swapping between E39 and E53 NAV screens.
But while LCD viewing angles can be critical, I'm not sure the MID's very simple display (basically big binary pixels!) viewing angle is that critical - unless the two different MID units have different display panels.
The do age though and can also have subtlety different hues from unit to unit. I know my MID, IHKA and dash display are all very slightly different hues of orange.
