Conjectured formulas for three-rowed tableau major-index distributions

From papers

Let fλ,i(q)=τSYT(λ):des(τ)=iqmaj(τ)f_{\lambda,i}(q)=\sum_{\tau\in SYT(\lambda):\,\operatorname{des}(\tau)=i}q^{\operatorname{maj}(\tau)}, where SYT(λ)SYT(\lambda) is the set of standard Young tableaux of shape λ\lambda. For the indicated partition shapes, the following formulas are conjectured:

f(n,n,3),3=qn+8[n+21]q[n3]q[21]q,f_{(n,n,3),3}=q^{n+8}\left[{n+2\atop1}\right]_q\left[{n\atop3}\right]_q\left[{2\atop1}\right]_q, f(n,4,4),3=q14[n22]q[n1]q[61]qq17(1q4)(1qn3)2(1qn2)(1q)2(1q2)2.f_{(n,4,4),3}=q^{14}\left[{n-2\atop2}\right]_q\left[{n\atop1}\right]_q\left[{6\atop1}\right]_q-q^{17}\frac{(1-q^4)(1-q^{n-3})^2(1-q^{n-2})}{(1-q)^2(1-q^2)^2}.

Conjectured three-rowed formulas. The two displayed identities hold.

These identities are proposed as terminal cases for a recurrence intended to produce formulas for broader families of three-rowed tableaux. The supplied text gives no proof or resolution status.
