MOTM style panels are made from a flat, rectangular piece of aluminum,
usually 300 mm thick. Modcan B panels are made out of a much thinner
sheet of aluminum, with added rigidity from having the edges bent over
to form a channel. Here is a picture:

Because of this difference, Modcan B modules may not fit well in the
regular MOTM-style rack. If MOTM and Modcan B modules were to sit side
by side, you would need to add spacers behind the Modcan panels to bring
them flush with the MOTM. If someone has done it, I've never heard how
it worked out.
