Is the answer don't even try. Or usually OK. Or always OK.

They usually fit (but not always, and sometimes with cosmetic issues).
However, they often come with dire warnings not to mix manufacturers'
products as it invalidates the type approval. This alone might cause the
panel to fail inspection.

In this case we have a number of issues and the panel failing it's type
approval would be the least of my concerns with the unit.

1) The downstairs sockets, alarm and immersion on the non-RCD
2) We have all the lighting and the rest of the sockets on the RCD side.
3) The 20A double oven was wired as an unfused spur direct off the 32A
ring.
4) There are blank plates missing in the spare ways on the breaker box.

etc.etc.
