I am working on replacing parts at rear brake including Parking, collecting ATE and TEXTER parts. cn90 says the chamfered shims were relics of bygone cars.
Is it applicable to 1997?
1997 Volvo 850 - would Ozark Lee use chamfered shims today?

I guess my answer is a strong maybe.
Most of the time I can just use full Teflon shims lubed up with Sil Glyde along with decent pads and I get no squeaks. Most of my cars have Mintex Reds for pads.
On one of the cars, I can't remember which one for sure but I think it was the Platinum, the rears squeaked anyway and cutting the shims made the squeak go away. Many of the pads now have a pad adhered to the back of the plate which I guess in theory takes the place of the shim.

Volvo changed rear shims on the DB2 pads to a half stainless shim to counter rear brake squeal complaints. It lbasically looks like half a shim.

Two photos showing items removed from driver's rear brake. No half shim?
The parking brake removal took a bit longer -- gentler.
