I am pretty sure they must be the US versions. I am reading eBooks checked out of my local (USA) library. But I don't recall any mention of "trainers" of "jumpers" in the books yet. I would have probably noticed that, because I would not have known what these words meant, except when given context (like in you post, where I learned that they mean "sneakers" and "sweater"). If I read an isolated sentence, "Hand me my trainers", I would not have known what they were talking about. I probably would have guessed sporting goods of some type, but other than that, I would have been clueless.
