    Let \(G\mapsto \rho_ g\in M_ n({\mathbb{C}})\) be a representation of a compact connected Lie group G, and let \(Ad(\otimes \rho_ g)\) be the corresponding product action of G on the UHF algebra \({\mathcal A}=\otimes M_ n({\mathbb{C}})\). In part I [J. Funct. Anal. 49, 145-151 (1982; Zbl 0503.46040)] it is shown that any extremal trace on \({\mathcal A}^ G\) is the restriction of a symmetric product space on \({\mathcal A}\); moreover, from [\textit{D. Handelman}, J. Funct. Anal. 72, 44-57 (1987)] it follows that any extremal trace on \({\mathcal A}^ G\) may be extended to an extremal trace on \({\mathcal A}^ T\), where T is a maximal torus of G. In this paper it is shown that the fibre of extremal traces of \({\mathcal A}^ T\) which restrict to the same extremal trace on \({\mathcal A}^ G\) forms a single orbit under the action of Weyl group of G.
