It's the angle. When you hold the gun at arm's length with the hammer at rest and align the front blade in the rear sight notch, the surface of the hammer rises to slightly above the bottom of the rear sight notch. It doesn't give you a full sight picture, but it's enough to line up the top of the rear sight and the top of the front blade.
If you set the HB hammer and standard hammer atop one another, the only place where the profiles don't match is the spur.
