For an attempt at clarity:
Australian carrier track is "lead plugged" (has a shorter plain pin, no head) The VLT (British wide horned) track has exposed formed heads as per British and Canadian carrier track.
The VLT in question came with wheels and rubber nominally 1/2"wider than carriers, but with spokes ("T" section) that look the same as British or Canadian wheels.
The Australian carrier wheels which (normally) have "H" section spokes are interchangeable, as is the track between the Aust. carrier and the VLT.
Colin, the track is most likely to come off when "sidling"(travelling along the side of a hill) It is not good practice to do this in a carrier. apparently we should go straight up and straight down. I don't know how the VLT goes in this situation.
