Equidistribution of minimaj with inversion, major index, and diagonal inversion

From papers

Given an ordered set partition πOPn\pi\in\mathcal{OP}_n, define its shape shape(π)\operatorname{shape}(\pi) to be the composition whose iith part is the size of the iith block of π\pi from left to right. Let Dα,kstat(q)D^{\operatorname{stat}}_{\alpha,k}(q) denote the corresponding statistic-generating polynomial for ordered multiset partitions of content α\alpha with kk blocks. Minimaj equidistribution conjecture. For every composition β\beta of length nn,

πOPnshape(π)=βqinv(π)=πOPnshape(π)=βqminimaj(π).\sum_{\substack{\pi\in\mathcal{OP}_n\operatorname{shape}(\pi)=\beta}}q^{\operatorname{inv}(\pi)} = \sum_{\substack{\pi\in\mathcal{OP}_n\operatorname{shape}(\pi)=\beta}}q^{\operatorname{minimaj}(\pi)}.

Moreover, for every composition α\alpha,

Dα,kminimaj(q)=Dα,kinv(q)=Dα,kmaj(q)=Dα,kdinv(q).D^{\operatorname{minimaj}}_{\alpha,k}(q)=D^{\operatorname{inv}}_{\alpha,k}(q)=D^{\operatorname{maj}}_{\alpha,k}(q)=D^{\operatorname{dinv}}_{\alpha,k}(q).

The two assertions are stated separately, and neither directly implies the other. They are motivated by computational data suggesting that minimaj\operatorname{minimaj} has the same distribution as inversion, major index, and diagonal inversion, but the authors do not have a proof with their available techniques.
