How does those pictures tell you how the circuit is wired inside the chassis?
The line fuse is wired in series with the hot as the hot heads towards the power transformer. Not from hot to neutral.
Those pictures are meaningless.

It came back to me where I found the photos, of which I'd think in said case both Tweek Geek | QSA which is an actual manufacturer of fuse, should know something on the subject, no?:https://www.tweekgeek.com/quantum-science-audio-5-x-20mm-slow-blow-fuse/

I'd ask since you're saying they're meaningless, why don't you provide photos showing both sides?. Now that would be welcomed, as I'm quite certain if nothing else?, fuses are directional.
"why don't you provide photos showing both sides?"
What? I didn't show any pictures. At least I don't think I did.
The amp in question has the fuse holder as part of the IEC socket. The pictures you show do not so that is why I say they are meaningless.
Again, the fuse is wired in series with the primary winding of the two power transformers so I can't understand how your pictures tells us anything.
What evidence do you have that fuses are directional other than anecdotal?

Understood, yet once again said comments and photos were taken from Tweek Geek, showing the QSA based fuses of which I've purchased two ( black | light blue version# ) where both were tried both ways around, and worked better as shown in said illustrations.
I can only speak on what works in my system, as judged by my own ears being able to distinguish said sound based upon what's hear here, as the old adage goes YMMV seems to apply here, especially those saying the directionally of fuses doesn't matter.
