OD-characterizability conjecture for automorphism groups of binary linear groups

Let Ln(2)L_n(2) denote the projective special linear group over the binary field, and let Aut(Ln(2)){\rm Aut}(L_n(2)) be its automorphism group, for an integer n2n\geqslant 2. A finite group is OD-characterizable if it is uniquely determined, up to isomorphism, by its order and degree pattern. Automorphism-group OD-characterizability conjecture. The groups Aut(Ln(2)){\rm Aut}(L_n(2)) are OD-characterizable for all integers n2n\geqslant 2. This extends the corresponding recognition question from the groups Ln(2)L_n(2) to their automorphism groups. The source records several small cases and proves the result for Aut(Lp(2)){\rm Aut}(L_p(2)) and Aut(Lp+1(2)){\rm Aut}(L_{p+1}(2)) when 2p12^p-1 is a Mersenne prime, but leaves the all-nn assertion as a conjecture in the provided text.
