Hi David, I have never seen Windsor bits, but believe the track would be dimensionally interchangeable with the Australian carriers. It is my opinion that the Australians that came up with their design made great improvements in many areas, (except that I love the classic style of riveted carriers) The adoption of the wider rubber and track horns from the later VLTMk6B along with the higher track guards made for a quieter and much more stable track that leaves me wondering why it was not universally adopted.
I can only imagine national pride being the barrier.
