Hello Oliver,

For the Ensembl Genes track, associated tables can be viewed together in 
the Table browser, making it easier to review the complete dataset. 
Bring up the assembly and track, and use the "describe table schema" 
button next to the default table (ensGene).

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables

ensGene has the transcript name in the field "name" (the description is 
misleading as it states this is a gene, a legacy naming issue, please 
ignore).

ensGene links to ensGtp (ensGtp.transcript <-> ensGene.name). In ensGtp, 
there are three identifiers: gene (ENSG...), transcript (ENST...), and 
protein (ENSP...).

For the genome data in ucscToEnsembl, again, it is very possible that 
Ensembl has a additional genome data generated/incorporated since the 
initial release of GRCh37 at NCBI. UCSC's version of GRCh37 is NCBI 
Build 37.1. There are no plans to update the core genome assembly for 
GRCh37 at this time.

Hopefully this helps to explain the data,
Jennifer
