Actually, you've got it backwards: most cf saddle rails are oval-shaped (7x9mm or occasionally 7x10mm), and the horizontal clamp style in the left-most photo will work ONLY if it is specifically designed for the size and shape of those rails. The vertical clamps in the middle and right-most photo will generally be fine with any saddle rails.
But regardless, this OP is a junk post. The poster has been back to bf but not to this thread, even though questions have been raised. It's just another anti-cf troll post. This person has probably never seen a cf-railed saddle, much less owned one.
