Well the corner caps are different. They don't extend all the way to the foot anymore. In the second photo you can see a thin black gap (less than 1mm) at the edge of the foot. On the old DIY kits (and 25th Anniv. cubes) the center cap was often "welded" to the foot, leaving a tab of plastic that required sanding or filing for smooth consistent turning. These new ones evidently avoid that problem. All 8 corners are perfect out of the box.
And yes, both the edges and corners have thinner walls. This results in the hollow side of the edge catching on the top of the center, prior to installing the center caps. I was a little worried about this, but once the caps are on, everything works great. Also the caps stay on easily using your paper insert method. These caps are very much superior to the old DIY center caps, and have a better fit. I'll try to get a good photo of the centers posted.
