I don't think the roll hoop itself has changed though, not sure but the "old" Mercedes airbox looked like it was split in two as this roll hoop would do, so that's probably why they can do it.

Exactly, in the original design they had already taken the step of separating the roll structure from the airbox, to enable them to make changes like this.
