The thing is very simple. Apart from the fact that you have to speak german, you have to do the LH selection again.
Even if your DLR is all the same, it only counts when you do it for LH KTV, not for LHI, not for CLH or even AUA.
So you might get a chance for LH, but you still have to meet the requirements.
There have never been any exception on this, as far as I know.
Maybe you could join GWI but not on the KTV.
