The difference between them are how the column names are created from the MDX statement and how the data is organized.
Based on the following MDX query using SteelWheels:
| Code Block |
|---|
select NON EMPTY Crossjoin({[Measures].[Quantity]}, Union({[Markets].[All Markets]}, [Markets].[All Markets].Children)) ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY Hierarchize(Union({[Product].[All Products]}, [Product].[All Products].Children)) ON ROWS

For the Pentaho Analysis (legacy) datasource aka Legacy Banded MDX, this is the old way the columns returned prior to Pentaho Report Designer 3.5 and created so that reports migrated easily to 3.5 and beyond. The columns return like this:
Product,
Product{},
Quantity/APAC/Markets,
Quantity/All Markets/Markets,
