Conjecture equating integer ratios for ordinary and odd power sums

For positive integers kk and mm, define

Sk(m):=j=1m1jk,S_k(m):=\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}j^k,

and

Tk(m):=j=1m(2j1)k.T_k(m):=\sum_{j=1}^{m}(2j-1)^k.

Equality conjecture for power-sum ratios.

{Sk(m+1)Sk(m)k,mZ+,m>3}Z={Tk(m+1)Tk(m)k,mZ+,m>1}Z.\left\{\left.\frac{S_k(m+1)}{S_k(m)}\,\right | k,m\in\mathbb Z^+, m>3\right\}\cap\mathbb Z=\left\{\left.\frac{T_k(m+1)}{T_k(m)}\,\right | k,m\in\mathbb Z^+, m>1\right\}\cap\mathbb Z.

The assertion proposes that the sets of integer ratios in the ordinary and odd power-sum problems coincide. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
