LVT Track-links (AFV-Club)

Fortunately Terry just did a review of this track-set http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/afvclub/afv35226.html)! Amongst other things he states that these track links do not fit the Italeri kit(s), as "the teeth on the drive and idler sprockets were too big to intermesh with the AFV Club track". Now that's really a pity - especially for me, as I have two Italeri-LVTs waiting on the shelf...! I have one Friul-track-set (which contains drive- and idler-wheels) and planned to get an AFV-set too, just for a good comparison-experience, but now am a little frustrated. I guess it's still a bit early, as the AFV Club trackset has only recently been issued, but I'd be happy for any idea on how to bring the AFV-Club tracks around the Italeri wheels!
