Even-argument reciprocity conjecture for generalized monotone triangles

Let α(n;k1,,kn)\alpha(n;k_1,\ldots,k_n) denote the generalized monotone-triangle enumeration, and let n1n\geq1. Even-argument reciprocity conjecture. The identity

α(n;2,4,,2n)=α(2n;2n,2n,2n2,2n2,,2,2)\alpha(n;2,4,\ldots,2n)=\alpha(2n;2n,2n,2n-2,2n-2,\ldots,2,2)

should hold. The paper lists this among identities supported by mathematical computation and explains that the combinatorial interpretation supplied by generalized monotone triangles makes bijective proofs desirable; no proof is supplied here.
