I think those will work with the grey track also.

I think my 7735 came with conductors with the pin holes, but it did come
with a special curved conductor piece with an extra block on the bottom
very much like the 5063 power supply rail. Perhaps there was an
intermediate stage. I do know that most of my grey conductor rails do
have the pin holes, though I have recently received some without.
