The predicted equality between ray class group exponents and unit quotient orders

Let ao\mathfrak{a}\subseteq\mathfrak{o} be a GG-stable ideal. Write EaE_{\mathfrak{a}} for the relevant ray-unit group, Ca={δC(a):δ1moda}\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{a}}=\{\delta\in\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{a}):\delta\equiv1\bmod{\mathfrak{a}}\}, and let Ca\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{a}} denote the associated ray class group. For a prime pp and character ϱ\varrho, write Sylp()ϱ\operatorname{Syl}_p(-)_{\varrho} for the ϱ\varrho-component of the Sylow pp-subgroup and exp()\operatorname{exp}(-) for its exponent. The predicted equality. If p2Gp\nmid2\cdot|G|, then

Sylp(Ea/Ca)ϱ=exp(Sylp(Ca)ϱ).\left|\operatorname{Syl}_p(E_{\mathfrak{a}}/\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{a}})_{\varrho}\right|=\operatorname{exp}\left(\operatorname{Syl}_p(\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{a}})_{\varrho}\right).

This is presented as a possible stronger consequence of the article's annihilation results. The statement concerns the relationship between ray-unit quotients and ray class groups; its resolution is not given in the source.
