Block-repetition identities for alternating-sign-matrix numbers

From papers

Let An:=α(n;1,2,,n)A_n:=\alpha(n;1,2,\ldots,n), where α\alpha is the generalized monotone-triangle enumeration. Let n1n\geq1, let ii range over 0,,n0,\ldots,n, and define

Wn,i=α(2n+1;i,2,,n+1,1,2,,n),i=1,,3n+2.W_{n,i}=\alpha(2n+1;i,2,\ldots,n+1,1,2,\ldots,n),\qquad i=1,\ldots,3n+2.

Block-repetition conjecture. The identities

An=α(n+i;1,2,,i,1,2,,n),A_n=\alpha(n+i;1,2,\ldots,i,1,2,\ldots,n),

for i=0,,ni=0,\ldots,n, and

An=(1)nα(2n+1;1,2,,n+1,1,2,,n)A_n=(-1)^n\alpha(2n+1;1,2,\ldots,n+1,1,2,\ldots,n)

should hold, and the numbers Wn,iW_{n,i} should satisfy

Wn,i=Wn,3n+3i.W_{n,i}=W_{n,3n+3-i}.

These identities were conjectured using mathematical computation, and the source presents bijective proofs as an open direction.
