I think--if memory serves--that the standard conical Cajun and Apache nose (seen on most Nike-Cajun, Nike-Apache, and Bullpup-Cajun [and/or Bullpup-Apache] rounds) was an 11 degree cone, although one of Peter Alway's "Rockets of the Word"-depicted Keweenaw Rocket Range (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keweenaw_Rocket_Range ) Nike-Cajun or Nike-Apache rounds had an oversized (9" diameter, with a 3:1 tangent ogive nose) Tomahawk payload cylinder. The Nike-ASP rockets that NASA used for a while also had the 6.5" diameter, Cajun/Apache-type conical nose on the ASP second stage. (I've also seen, in an old NASA Wallops release, a picture of a Nike-Tomahawk with a sub-caliber, 6.5" diameter Cajun or Apache payload cylinder, topped by an 11 degree Cajun/Apache conical nose.

The other "style" of Honest John-Nike-Tomahawk was simply a "standard" Nike-Tomahawk, boosted by an M-31 Honest John (some may have used the M-50 Honest John [the Taurus], due to the exhaustion of supply--or the over-aging--of M-31 Honest John motors).
