No it would be the same. The box is designed to be placed that way as the instructions say. It only comes with 2 fasteners as you can see in the picture. I could probably take a sledge hammer to the part of the box hanging out and crush it and it still won't come off the rack.
You can buy it for onlu $25 here:

That is cheaper than any trunk or pann.
