Could Thule Motion XT XXL Cargo Box Fit on Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform

Question:

Can the Thule Motion XT XXL Cargo Box be mounted on the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform when 1inch square tube crossbars are added? I would like to know the spacing between the front quick grip mounts to see if they fit between the platform planks which run front to back. I would also like to know the height of the inset on the bottom tray to see if 1inch square tube bars are high enough to get the box off the platform rack. Thanks.

The distance between the mounting brackets on the bottom of the Thule Motion XT part # TH6299B is 23.5 inches, on the next size smaller the # TH629906 the distance is 22 inches. The inset of the mounting claws is right at 1 inch so the box would fit onto the 1 inch bars and not be too recessed to prevent from fitting on top of the tray.
