Conjecture on isomorphism types of commutative A-loops of order p3p^3

Let p>3p>3 be a prime. Let a1e0a_1 e 0 be a quadratic residue modulo pp and let a2e0a_2 e 0 be a quadratic nonresidue modulo pp. For the loop construction denoted by tergZpab\operatorname{terg}{\mathbb Z_p}{a}{b}, consider the loops with parameters (a1,0)(a_1,0) and (a2,0)(a_2,0).

Isomorphism-type conjecture. The loops

tergZpa10\operatorname{terg}{\mathbb Z_p}{a_1}{0}

and

tergZpa20\operatorname{terg}{\mathbb Z_p}{a_2}{0}

are not isomorphic.

The conjecture concerns whether the quadratic-residue and quadratic-nonresidue parameter classes remain distinct in the classification for primes p>3p>3. The authors state that they did not manage to establish it, and the source gives no resolution.
