Hi,
as I said, there is no way. Talked to 2 FSDOs and both agreed that the FAR does not provide an easy way.
If you apply common sense it should not be the slightest problem. There are so many ways around that if your papers are a little different.
And the Alaska thing applies to Alaskan schools and residents, the night solo endorsement to student pilot certificates.
There is nothing in that regards that applies to a US private pilot license based on a foreign license. It's just a pain in the ass.
