The Bendix Heat Sheilds grips on the outside of the Piston and the heat shield end of the Dust Boot overlaps over the that part of the heat shield that grips the piston.

True, but the crux of it is that the heat shield can be put on last (and save your fingers dealing with sharp edges, IF, you can actually get the shield on in those close quarters. First try getting the FTE (notionally German made; the boots were f.a.g. FWIW) heat shields on, I had to use a block of wood and hammer to get them on... and I don’t think it’s possible to get the piston to rise 0.1mm at all.
So putting the boot as I show can be irrelevant of if the heat shield is on, except that as the FSM shows, it’s a convenient way to index the raised section of the piston if you don’t have the tool and don’t want to eyeball it.
Once the dust boot is seated, the heat shield could be applied, and the fsm says that the piston must be fully compressed to seat the seal perfectly, which does slip it over the heat shield in the piston groove on the top.
To me the big issue is getting those heat shields on the first time. It was hard!
