Difference focal length but the same angle of view

I noticed that some lenses have deference focal length but produce the same angle of view. I don't get how it is possible.
For example:
Schneider Apo - digitar 4.0/80 L produces AOV of 53deg
Schneider Apo - digitar 4.5/90 N also produces the same AOV
Schneider Apo - digitar 5.6/100 N the same also.

Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 5.6/90 produces AOV of 70deg.

How can it be possible?

Hi,

AOV same but for what image circle or what format?

Diagonal, horisontal or vertical?

Best regards
Erik

You answer to my question.
That is tricky, I thought that might be a parameter that makes the difference, like IC but I don't was sure.
Yes, you are right. The AOV is related to the IC and not to "common" format.
