Shifty, the AOA is not the same IGE and OGE. What is the same is the Vertical component of Total Reaction( ie Thrust = Weight) and this is achieved at a lower blade pitch angle and a slightly reduced AOA.
What you need is "Principles of Flight" by Wagtendonk p60-62( ISBN 1-56027-217-1) which explains all.
Hope this helps.
