A HQET Feynman Rule: QCD Interaction Vertex Explained

TL;DR Summary
A slight confusion about HQET Feynman rules ,as stated in most texts.
Several texts state the vertex HQET Feynman rule as : igTijvμ\frac{1}{1+\slashed{v}} with the reasoning for vμ presented as being due to the QCD interaction vertex being between two heavy quark propagators, which are \frac{1+\slashed{v}}{2v.k}, giving :
vμ\frac{1+\slashed{v}}{2}=\frac{1+\slashed{v}}{2}γμ\frac{1+\slashed{v}}{2}.

So in general, shouldn't the vertex rule be the same as in QCD ? The only difference being the heavy quark propagator.
