Puspure, 40, is a two-time world champion in the single skulls but teamed up with Hyde after a disappointing performance at the Tokyo Olympics last year.
And the pair are going from strength to strength on the evidence of their bronze-medal winning performance in Racice, Czech Republic.
Puspure said after the race: "It's a new experience for me, a new challenge. I'm enjoying it so far, it's been really, really good. Zoey has a very good head on her for her first year national rowing. I'm very lucky."
She added: "To be honest I wasn't planning to be here this year at all. I just kept training because I couldn't make a decision.
"I was actually really close to training in April and then Giuseppe [De Vita] put us in a boat and it changed. I was excited to go training again."
It is Ireland's fourth medal - and second bronze - of this year's world championships.
Earlier in the day, Phillip Doyle and Konan Pazzaia came out on top in the men's double sculls C final.
The pair finished up ahead Lithuanian pair Armandas Kelmelis and Dovydas Nemeravicius by just under three seconds.
Ireland's Brian Colsh was third in the men's single sculls C final, while Alison Bergin was fifth in the women's singles sculls C category.
