Newell-type plethysm equality

Let m,nm,n be positive integers, let ν\nu be a partition of nn, and let ν\nu' denote its conjugate partition. For a partition τ\tau of mnmn, write pν,(m)τp^{\tau}_{\nu,(m)} for the corresponding plethysm coefficient. Newell-type conjecture. If λmn\lambda\vdash mn, then

pν,(m)λ=pν,(m+1)λ+(1n)p^\lambda_{\nu,(m)}=p^{\lambda+(1^n)}_{\nu',(m+1)}

for any νn\nu\vdash n. This is presented as a generalization of Newell's result. The source provides no resolution, so the equality remains open in the stated generality.
