contents Within the nuclear DFT framework, employing the Skyrme UNEDF1 functional and incorporating pairing correlations, we determined the spectroscopic electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments of the $\nu11/2^{-}$ and $\pi7/2^{+}$ configurations in heavy, deformed, open-shell odd nuclei with $50\leq Z \leq 64$. The notions of self-consistent shape and spin polarisations due to odd nucleons responsible for generating total electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments were transformed into detailed computational procedures. The alignment of intrinsic angular momentum along the axial symmetry axis, necessitating signature and time-reversal symmetry breaking, followed by the restoration of rotational symmetry, proved to be essential components of the method. In contrast, the restoration of particle number symmetry yields modifications of only about 1%. With the isovector spin-spin terms of the functional previously adjusted in near doubly magic nuclei across the mass chart, the calculations were parameter-free. Effective charges and $g$-factors were not employed. A reasonably good agreement was achieved between the calculated and measured electric quadrupole moments. A similarly fair description of the magnetic dipole moments was obtained for the intruder configurations $\nu11/2^{-}$ alongside a poor description of those for $\pi7/2^{+}$.
