No, The Fulton F2 # FW16000101 uses the industry standard mounting pattern which is shaped like a T as you mentioned.

Your best option is just drilling/modifying the mounting plate for this pattern as its used by virtually every winch, and you'll have a really hard time finding a winch that'll mount any different.

If you can send me pictures and measurements of your current mounting pattern I can see if on the off chance we have something that would be a direct replacement.
