The size. A basic Modulex brick is undisputable smaller than a basic LEGO
brick. (Don't know from memory but I thought it was half the size). A basic
LEGO brick is divided in 3 regularLEGO plates. A Modulex brick is dived in 2
Modulex plates.
The set 253 above contains regular LEGO bricks (and possibly plates), not
Modulex.
Besides, if I recall correctly, the sides of Modulex bricks are thinner too.
The studs on some Modulex bricks show the 'LEGO' brand, on others they show
'Modulex'. The lettering is so small it's hard to distinguish with the
unaided eye.
Modulex came in different colors, including brown, orange and light blue. It
took some time for regular LEGO to come up with these colors as well.
