Polar-parabola centroid-locus conjecture for arbitrary polygon size

Let P\cal{P} be a parabola, let C\cal{C} be a focus-centered circle, and let R\cal{R} be a Poncelet family of NN-gons inscribed in P\cal{P} and circumscribed about C\cal{C}. Form the polar polygons of R\cal{R} with respect to P\cal{P}. Polar-parabola centroid-locus conjecture. For arbitrary NN, the loci of their vertex and area centroids are straight lines parallel to the directrix of P\cal{P}. The claim generalizes the observed behavior for the studied polygon sizes and is not resolved in the supplied text.
