So the question for games not running properly is not that the CPU contention timing is different, but that contention is applied differently to memory banks on the toastrack/+2 and the +2a/b/3.
Which runs the most games? -

Are you using anything else plugged into the edge connector at the same time, such as a DivIDE? If not, it should work OK. I have a few, they all work on my 48K versions, but not on my +3, but maybe they would on a 128K toastrack. -

the fittings are the same, but the toastrack has the same orientation as a 48k but a grey +2 they are both to the let towards the joystick ports

I'm thinking the m2 as well, as the DivIDE is fine on the toastrack, grey. +2a/b and +3
