It depends on the GDAL version QGIS has found on installation. I used 
the qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial repo with the ubuntugis-unstable ppa for 
Ubuntu 16.04, and it has the same GDAL 2.1.2 as the current Windows 
version of QGIS.

If you have installed QGIS from the qgis.org/debian xenial repository, 
it comes with GDAL 1.11.3, without those CRS because they were added to 
GDAL with version 2.0.

You might try to locate the srs.db on your Windows and Ubuntu machine, 
and just exchange it.
