As Hippy has said the presence of brake holes doesn't mean a bike is not a "track" bike, although it may not conform to the whole "ultra-tight clearances, ultra steep angles, crazy paint job" track bike look. To be honest there's been a lot of variety in track bikes over time and also depending on the events they are designed for. The whole 75/75 geo and tiny clearances is mainly for mass start races and sprints. Look at the bikes for longer races and six day stuff and they are a bit more relaxed, pursuit bikes are more like TT bikes than anything else and modern bikes tend to have slighly slacker geo than the bikes from the 70s and 80s.
The Witcopmb posted above looks like it has typical road angles, but it's a long way away from being a touring bike.
