Angle is in compression or tension
Splicing plate/cleat was checked for bearing,etc as per AISC BOLTS M16
But in factory the plate was chamfered as shown.
What will be the effects on plate/bolts capacities
Can AISC EQUATIONS STILL be used

1) I would guess tension as that looks a lot like a truss top chord joint to me. Have a knowledgeable colleague confirm that though.

2) AISC checks will still apply with the chamfer but you'll have to re-evaluate your edge distances for bolt tear out etc.

The OP is concerned with the chamfer on the connection plate, that is required to eliminate the conflict with the diagonally placed angle. The critical plane of the connection plate is through the bolt line in direction of the force, so the chamfer has no effect, provides the edge distance of the nearby bolt hole can be maintained.
 
Is this you were thinking?

This paper is a little lengthy, but useful to your situation, concerning bolt tear out strength. Link
 
Great I will have a look
