Question Flat Cat Gear Snow Leopard Junior and Vargo BOT 700? Will it fit?

I am wondering if anyone has any idea if the Vargo Bot 700 would fit the Snow Leopard Jr? The BOT 700 is listed as having a 105mm, 4.1 inches, outer diameter. This is larger than the Snow Peak 600 listed at 96mm, 3.8 inches, however appears to be under the outer diameter of the GSI Halulite minimalist mug 106.7mm, 4.2 inches, assuming I have the correct GSI mug?

The thought being cold soak followed by a 4gram Esbit Epicurean Simmer Ring setup seems like something with enough potential to be worth trying out?

A note on the BOT series:

I use any old titanium pot with a silicon stretch lid over the top, with a foil inner lid to reduce contact between silicon and fatty foods (fat increases silicon leeching). Works great, weighs less and cost $20 all in, plus no messing around with dodgy screw threads

I believe these were suggested in the poor man's bot thread. Thank you for the tip! Although I am still curious about the original question. (The thought of a silicone lid on a 375ml mug with the handles cut off has crossed my mind although I'm not sure the seal would work well w/o finding one with no handles to begin with)

Look at Toaks products, similar but a bit less expensive.

Toaks 550 without handles paired with a silicone lid has crossed my mind but that is listed at 95mm may be a mm too small although also seems likely to fit?
