Apéry-like coefficient formula for class 3C supersingular polynomials

From papers

Let p5p\geq5 be prime, let ssp(3C)(X)ss_{p}^{(3C)}(X) be the class-3C supersingular polynomial, and let ε\varepsilon be the parameter used in its degree formula.

Class 3C Apéry-like conjecture.

ssp(3C)(X)2={(X12)(X2+12X+144)}εss^{(3C)}_{p}(X)^{2}=\{(X-12)(X^{2}+12X+144)\}^{\varepsilon} ×n=0(p1)/2(2nn){k=0[n/3](3)n3k(2kk)(3kk)(n3k)}X(p1)/2n(modp).\times\sum_{n=0}^{(p-1)/2}\binom{2n}{n}\left\{\sum_{k=0}^{[n/3]}(-3)^{n-3k}\binom{2k}{k}\binom{3k}{k}\binom{n}{3k}\right\}X^{(p-1)/2-n}\pmod p.

This conjecturally relates the square of the class-3C supersingular polynomial to an Apéry-like sequence. The source gives no resolution evidence.
