Primitive-representation local converse conjecture over finite fields

Let rr be a prime divisor of nn. For a regular character χ\chi of Fqn×\mathbb F_{q^n}^{\times}, let πχ\pi_\chi be the associated primitive cuspidal representation of GLr(Fqn/r)\operatorname{GL}_r(\mathbb F_{q^{n/r}}). Primitive-representation local converse conjecture. If regular characters χ1,χ2\chi_1,\chi_2 satisfy

γ(πχ1×η,ψ)=γ(πχ2×η,ψ)\gamma(\pi_{\chi_1}\times\eta,\psi)=\gamma(\pi_{\chi_2}\times\eta,\psi)

for every character η\eta of Fqn/r×\mathbb F_{q^{n/r}}^{\times}, then πχ1πχ2\pi_{\chi_1}\cong\pi_{\chi_2}. This proposes a restricted local converse theorem using twists by characters; the source gives no proof or resolution.
