The odd periodic special-value conjecture for the loop model

Let F2n+1(x)F_{2n+1}(x) be the generating polynomial associated with the odd-sized periodic ground state, and let AV2n+1{\rm AV}_{2n+1} and AHT2n+1{\rm AHT}_{2n+1} denote the corresponding alternating-vertex and alternating-sign-triangle enumerations. Odd periodic special-value conjecture. The conjectured special values are

F2n+1(1)=AV2n+1AHT2n+1,F2n+1(2)=22nAV2n+1AHT2n+1.F_{2n+1}(-1)=\frac{{\rm AV}_{2n+1}}{{\rm AHT}_{2n+1}},\qquad F_{2n+1}(2)=\frac{2^{2n}{\rm AV}_{2n+1}}{{\rm AHT}_{2n+1}}.

The source reports these as unexplained observations for the odd periodic case, so their general validity remained open there.
