Degree formulas for the Euclidean joint signature of a generic plane curve

Let JdE\mathcal{J}^{\mathcal{E}}_d denote the Euclidean joint signature for a generic plane curve of degree dd. The multiprojective witness-set dimensions are e1=(1,1,1,1,0,0)\boldsymbol{e}_1=(1,1,1,1,0,0) and e2=(0,1,1,1,1,0)\boldsymbol{e}_2=(0,1,1,1,1,0). Euclidean joint-signature degree conjecture. For d3d\ge 3,

degJdE=12d(d31),\deg \overline{\mathcal{J}^{\mathcal{E}}_d}=12d(d^3-1), dege1JdE=8d2(d21),\deg_{\boldsymbol{e}_1}\mathcal{J}^{\mathcal{E}}_d=8d^2(d^2-1), dege2JdE=4d(d1)(3d2+d1).\deg_{\boldsymbol{e}_2}\mathcal{J}^{\mathcal{E}}_d=4d(d-1)(3d^2+d-1).

These formulas were suggested by monodromy computations, which were successfully run for curves of degree up to 1010; their validity for all d3d\geq 3 remains open.
