Ok, I always do this when I'm bored. I have work to do but need to take the odd break from it to keep my sanity.
The only way an internal mitre would work would be by using 2 tiles mitred from an exact measurement of the highest point of the tile (and providing the layout of the wave is exactly the same on each tile). By doing an internal mitre on 2 pieces cut from 1, the pattern will not line up exactly. you will lose as much as 34mm from the design.
Heres a tile, 900x300,base 8mm thick, the curves going up to 17mm deep.
For this example, lets say you need to cut your mitre at 250mm
You have potentially lost 34mm of the wave. When the two pieces are put together, the wave doesn't flow exact.
Probably won't make as much difference on your tile as the wave is less extreme than on mine....... but don't expect it to line up 100% unless you're willing to sacrifice an extra tile to do it.
I just needed an excuse to take 20 minutes away from a monotonous spreadsheet and couldn't think of a better way to do it
Back to work.

Look like reet dust catchers to me, don't think I'd want more than a feature row or one wall which I suspect is what they have been designed for..

The bit that comes off has all the ridges on the same place/line as the bit fixed, just use an angle grinder to cut the 8-17mm ridges out of the return piece. No fancy graphics like @Paul C. but I'am having a cup of tea.
Forgive me if i'm being thick.... but do you me tile right up to the wall on one side, then after a bit of grinding, interlock the return piece with the contours on the face of the first?
Sorry, just trying to picture it.
