Pentagon centroid-locus conjecture for parabola-inscribed Poncelet families

Let P\cal{P} be a parabola of focal distance ff, and let C\cal{C} be a focus-centered circle of radius rr such that they admit a Poncelet family of inscribed pentagons. Pentagon centroid-locus conjecture. Over this family, the loci of the vertex, perimeter, and area centroids are parabolas coaxial with P\cal{P}. This is an experimentally observed claim for the pentagon family; no proof or resolution is supplied.
