Something perhaps more helpful or troublesome!

Anne,

I've only built 2 German half tracks.
1/72 ESCI plastic and 1/72 Precision paper model.

Looking at the GPM website wasn't much help either for "their" mistake.
The parts don't even look like the real sprockets on Ebay for the REAL 251.

So, you can
1. Leave them as they are.
2. Cut off half of them, because they will be hidden as seen on the GPM webpage. (standard 251 shown)

Or if it was my kit, scan the parts, import scanned image into AutoCAD, fix positions of sprocket teeth. Maybe even make them sit in the middle of the sprocket instead of the edges as drawn by GPM. I would make a new inner sprocket with the teeth there. Could even detail kit ones to look more accurate too.

Coloring the new parts in Photoshop. Then sandwiching the revised inner tooth sprocket between the revised new sprocket circles without teeth.

It's all up to you. Waiting to see what you come up with.
