Food for thought and discussion!
If you read on, the contradiction actually gets worse. From page 47 of the SGUK:

Quote:
EAST (2ND ARMOURED) DIVISION
The division was formed in the summer of 1996 and arrived in
Germany on 15 October 1996. It crossed the interGerman frontier
on 10 December 1996 and was in combat by 12 December 1996.
The 2nd fought hard in eastern Germany, where it repulsed an
attack by the Soviet 20th Guards Army.
In July 1997, the division was sent south, along with the rest of
I Corps, to fight the Italians.
That quote suggests that the entire I Corps was transferred to southern Germany in July 1997.

I'd say the most likely compromise to try and follow canon would be to shift the 1st and 2nd Armoured Divisions to southern Germany, whilst leaving the 3rd and 4th Armoured Divisions in Poland.
