Anyone have a set? Do they have the hollow guide horns on them?

The ASU-85 tracks are hollow because it was a airborne vehicle...loosing as much weight as possible was a priority, including something as small as lightening holes in the track guide teeth. PT-76 track COULD be interchanged, but it is not what it was normally deployed with. However, for museums, it is much easier to find replacement PT-76 track...
