I personally don't like the <> form too much, but we never agreed on
anything in particular here. I would rather avoid making it even easier
for some robot to catch the addresses listed here.
I also leave out the "All rights reserved" as it doesn't serve any real
purpose anymore, AFAIK.

You must remember that the coding style has been
changed/adapted/completed/improved over time, and that not all sources
have been adapted to it yet. One usually does that when intending to
work on a file, or when stumbling over some violations.

The first include should be the one header matching the source file, if
any. The rest according to the guidelines, and directories are usually
be mixed alphabetically, although I don't think we've talked about that
detail in particular when deciding the status quo.
