Conjecture on the E_8 Weisfeiler graded Lie algebra in characteristic two

Let p=2p=2, and let g\mathfrak{g} be of type E8E_8 with maximal subalgebra M8M_8 and M8M_8-invariant subspace L1L'_{-1} as in Theorem none8p2. For the Weisfeiler filtration F\mathcal{F} associated with (L1,M8)(L'_{-1},M_8), let G\mathcal{G} be the corresponding graded Lie algebra and let G\overline{\mathcal{G}} denote its quotient by the Weisfeiler radical. The E_8 Weisfeiler conjecture. One has

H(6;1)O(3;1)G(Der(H(6;1))O(3;1))(1H(6;1)W(3;1)).\mathcal{H}(6;\underline{1})\otimes\mathcal{O}(3;\underline{1})\subset\overline{\mathcal{G}}\subseteq\bigl(\operatorname{Der}(\mathcal{H}(6;\underline{1}))\otimes\mathcal{O}(3;\underline{1})\bigr)\rtimes\bigl(1_{\mathcal{H}(6;\underline{1})}\otimes W(3;\underline{1})\bigr).

This conjecturally describes the degenerate Weisfeiler filtration in type E8E_8; the source supplies dimension-based remarks but no proof of the asserted inclusions.
