Pop off a light and double check but it looks like it is.
OP
It’s 24’ high and I’m scared of heights. :/

Your second Pic looks like L.
I see three part numbers, an H, L and J. The L is marked with a black dot

Me too and I had to do this last week! The angle grinder at full arms length to get rid of old nails had my legs shaking more than the ladder!

Maybe get one of the kids or the wife to take it down?
...while you carefully steady the ladder!
(Only 10 feet here as I put some LED light cans in my new shop's H-track last week.)

I see it now. Think you are right.

Another stupid question…
Let’s assume this is L-track. The current heads on this track run these 50W Halogens:
I want to run something that allows me to change the bulbs with a pole, so I’m thinking about these:
Now, these heads are for line voltage... So, I am assuming that means I need 120V L-track. And, I think that is what I have? As I’m running those halogens… Right?

If you can find heads like that for L style you'll be good to go. It's 120 volt track. You might already know this but if you plan on attempting to change bulbs with a pole, be sure to lube the threads at the base of the lamp or the suction cup on the end of the pole might just spin when trying to unscrew the bulb; there are a few products that are all the same, Bulb-EZ is one brand:

For new H-track cans i got these one-piece focusable, color temperature-selectable heads the other week, Ryan. Fingers crossed they’ll be good LEDs and last a long time.
There must be something equivalent for your track? Buying new cans and then buying separate bulbs didn’t make sense to me. (Although I did ditch the halogen bulbs in favor of PAR-style LEDs when I reused some older track attachments.)
