Default Replacing 2 caps with one?

Hello again from Norfolk.
A little more advice needed for my tube amp refurb please?

I have been unable to find a single large can cap the right dimensions to replace the one going up through the chassis, so I've taken delivery today of a double 100uF cap to use just one side of it....
However I am now wondering if I can replace both these old Elna 100uF caps with the new double? The neg is common on the double so to my less knowledgeable mind it seems not, but maybe there is a way? I'm reliably informed the cap end on in the pic is C202 and the one next to it in the metal clip is C203.
Please can you tell me how it might work if indeed I can replace both with a double?
many thanks
Tim
