I can state from direct observation that the GH1382QD head does NOT fit the GT1545T tripod without causing the legs to splay out some when folded over 180°.

Yep, and that's why they add the letter "T" ("T"QD) to denote which head specifically matches the 1-series Traveller.tripod.
The QD version (GH-1382QD) fits the 2-series Traveller perfectly (42mm bases on the tripod and the head..
Of course, the QD version still can be used on the 1-series Traveller as long as you don't need tp fold the legs for stowage. I virtually never fold back my 2-series Traveller, so it's always ready to go and faster to set up. I also use a second GH-1382QD head for my 1-series Mountaineer.
The main advantage of the QD version os of course is its sbility to handle longer (weight-forward) lenses due to the included friction-control.
