For clearance to the panniers, besides the dimension of the tray/lid, it also depends on where the lid is mounted, how far back from the front seat mounts.
It works the other way round. The factory designed the mounting system brackets of the panniers to fit in a specific position and the toolbox then has to fit round it. If the toolbox is mounted too far back then it has to be moved forward as you cannot move the brackets.
Unless you have an oversize non original toolbox then it looks like it's not a problem.

My Rapide was taken off the road around the end of 1960. I can expect the tool tray lid to be an original Vincent one. I didn't get a tool tray with the bike, and bought a VOC Spares one. It fitted perfectly.
