Data for the isovector charge exchange reaction (${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$,$t$) on ${}_{}{}^{13}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ are compared to ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ inelastic scattering data containing both isovector and isoscalar parts, and to strictly isoscalar inelastic ${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ scattering to determine the ratio of $\Delta T=1\mathrm{}$ to $\Delta T=0\mathrm{}$ transition amplitudes for several states. These amplitudes are used to compute the charge asymmetry for ${\pi }^{+}$ and ${\pi }^{-}$ inelastic scattering on ${}_{}{}^{13}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ and good agreement is found for six excited states. A ratio of mirror electromagnetic reduced transition rates is also correctly predicted. Several scattering mechanism models are compared for the excitation of the high-spin $\frac{7}{2^{+}}$ and $\frac{9}{2^{+}}$ states of ${}_{}{}^{13}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ or ${}_{}{}^{13}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$ but no single mechanism can be shown to dominate.
