If it’s similar to BCG - quite difficult but if you’ve been on the consulting side before it may be easier. But I think statistically it was more difficult to transition internally than to get hired into the role externally at BCG
Quite a bit harder than if you were just to apply for the role directly. While possible, I surely wouldn’t count on making the jump
Define internal role
If you get a sponsor it’s possible but may need to drop a band

Two possibilities for you, depending on what you value:
1) internal transferring to consulting role: high chance of doing it once you builds the sponsors support, but it will take you super long, maybe 5-6 years on average to make that happen.
2) don’t pursue this internal role now, and continue to apply directly to the consulting role and enter as consulting role: lower chance of getting it considering large candidates pool and interview performance (you might not even get an interview to begin with), but if you are able to ace through it, then you will be directly joining as consulting role
So in summary,
Option 1: high likelihood but takes super long
Option 2: lower likelihood but could be immediate
