As it has been discussed here:

http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=196663

almost surely, as it happened to the 7740, the 7730 appeared at least at first
(1980) with 16 curved rails 3241b without connection holes.

Almost surely the evolution of the track was the same too, i.e. in the mid-late
production runs (1981-1982) the 16 curved rails 3241b without connection holes
were substituted by 15 curved rails 3241 with connection holes + 1 curved rail
3241c interference-free + 1 Paper, Information Note, Special Suppressor Rail
- 117983 . (Please look at the picture below founded in the web: on the bottom
we can clearly recognize the Paper, Information Note, Special Suppressor Rail
- 117983)

As far as the 2731a Conducting Rail Curved with Connection Wire and Short Connector
is concerned, as it has been discussed here:

http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=182644

just because the 7730 was produced until 1982 and not until 1984, the chance
that this part was in the set is still slighter. (2731a was an improvement of
3241c and probably appeared in 1985, not before).
