I'd say it isn't; Italic and Celtic were distinct from all other
branches before this change happened. Celtic had kWu>ku before p
could become kW.

I think there never was an Italo-Celtic stage based on unrelated
evidence. Disregarding that, for it to be common Italo-Celtic an
improbable series of changes could allow if *perkWu+ > *perku+ but the
adj. *perkWn.o+ > *kWerkWn.o+ and there was analogy in Italic.
