At first there was just one planet. And then there were two...
Rocketry Planet (http://www.rocketryplanet.com) and now Our Planet
(http://our.rocketryplanet.com)!

(Going from memory on what a friend told me)
Not all Unistrut is identical. I believe with width of the channel, and
the flanges, are standard. What varies is the depth.
Go to http://www.unistrut.com/Browse/cat_pg.php?P=S00_Channel for images
of the various sizes (looks like 1 5/8" is the standard width)

The lip depth is some times different if you purchase a brand other than
real P-1000 or P-3000 Unistrut, (I have used both). If the guide lip
depth is cut so it fits standard unistrut, there should be no problem
with the off brand strut, as most off brands have less lip depth than
the standard Unistrut brand.

These are designed for the 1 5/8 series UniStrut. There is now a
drawing on the website with dimensions.

Do you happen to know if they'll work on the MDRA rails?
Thanks,
Will
