Boots..
If the new boot is replicated exactly like the old which has a larger diameter on the inner tub and smaller hole diameter on the front cabinet and two inner pieces that join to both but are wider at the bottom and joined in the middle (to exact sizes) then all will be perfect …
You are correct in that it does have to be fitted a certain way with the large connected area at the bottom, There is a marking or dot on the Original Hoover boots to identify the top position !!
Here you can see it fitted and empty..
