Divisibility conjecture for seven-dimensional isospectral lens orbifolds

Let L(q;s)L(q;s) and L(q;s)L(q;s') be 77-dimensional lens orbifolds with fundamental group of order qq. They are non-isometric if they are not isometric, and {p}\{p\}-isospectral when their spectra on pp-forms agree.

The divisibility conjecture. If L(q;s)L(q;s) and L(q;s)L(q;s') form a pair of non-isometric {2}\{2\}-isospectral 77-dimensional lens orbifolds, then 33 divides qq; respectively, if they form a pair of non-isometric {3}\{3\}-isospectral 77-dimensional lens orbifolds, then 55 divides qq.

The claim is motivated by computational evidence reported in the source. It gives necessary divisibility conditions on the fundamental-group order, but no proof or resolution is supplied.
