Angled or not?

What seems to be the agreed shape of the HIC box, Are the long sides 90 deg's to the top or do they have a slight angle? Ive seen photos of the prop that could go both ways as well as fan made plans that show both ways. Which version was screen used in Episode V. Gotta get my self in gear and get started on this

In Empire they used the version with the parallel sides, while in Jedi they used a new version with a slight angle of the sides.

Thanks for the reply, So obviously two different HIC's were made. Any other differences between the two other that the slight angle?

I personally think the angled sides were created to allow it to be taken out of a hard fiberglass mold easier.

I am also not sure there were two different HICS made, I think the sculpts are the same for both movies. Possibly just cut up and a new box made, or cast.

I just measured my rubber HIC from the point that it hits the top frame, in other words side to side and top to bottom of the carbonite part and here are my measurements.
top 577mm, bottom 624mm, and top to bottom 1775mm. set against the angled box design plans I have its a bit short. The plans have these dimensions top 597mm, bottom 644mm, and top to bottom 1875mm. So my HIC is 20mm width to short and 100mm length to short. What dimensions do you guys have? My plan is either to short or the HIC is.
