the orcs of angband might have know how to create more of them. The movies were never correct. Angband was destroyed and anything the orcs of the misties might have remembered from angband is long forgotten since it was more likely elvish slaves that made the orcish armor of the first age and not the orcs themselves. And exactly, the ancient orc armor would be that armor from elvish hands, and in the hobbit when they are captured in goblin town, Tolkien specificlly states that the orcs under the mountains were skilled in smithing and metalwork for orcish standards
