The wall track system according to claim 6, wherein said first slots of said first pattern have said left and right mounting locations being centrally located side by side with each other along a vertical center axis of said wall track. 8. The wall track system according to claim 6, wherein said second slots of said second pattern have said left and right mounting locations laterally spaced apart near wall track corners extending along said side edges. 9. The wall track system according to claim 8, wherein said first slots of said first pattern have said left and right mounting locations being centrally located side by side with each other along a vertical center axis of said wall track. 10. The wall track system according to claim 1, wherein said first mounting face abuts against the wall surface when in said second orientation and said second mounting face abuts against the wall surface when in said first orientation. 11. The wall track system according to claim 1, wherein said second orientation is reversed relative to said first orientation with said first and second mounting faces disposed on opposite sides of said wall track. 12. The wall track system according to claim 11, which includes fasteners securing said wall track to the wall wherein each said wall track includes first and second fastener bores extending through said first and second mounting faces respectively for mounting said wall tracks to the wall, each of said second fastener bores being aligned with a said first slot which permits the fastener to be inserted through said first slot with said fastener extending through said second fastener bore but hidden within said hollow interior, said second mounting face further including through holes aligned with said first fastener bores and larger than said fasteners to permit the fastener to be inserted through said through hole with said fastener extending through said first fastener bore but hidden within said hollow interior. 13. The wall track system according to claim 12, wherein said first slots and said through holes are sized to permit tool-driven engagement of the fasteners with the wall. 14.
