The perfect Martin sequence conjecture for cyclically 4-connected 3-regular graphs

Let G1G_1 and G2G_2 be cyclically 44-connected 33-regular graphs with the same number of vertices, and let v1v_1 and v2v_2 be vertices whose deletion produces periods P(G1v1)\mathcal{P}(G_1\setminus v_1) and P(G2v2)\mathcal{P}(G_2\setminus v_2). Define the Martin sequence by

M(G)=(M(G[2]),M(G[4]),M(G[6]),).\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{\bullet})=\left(\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{[2]}),\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{[4]}),\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{[6]}),\ldots\right).

Perfect Martin sequence conjecture.

P(G1v1)=P(G2v2)M(G1)=M(G2).\mathcal{P}(G_1\setminus v_1)=\mathcal{P}(G_2\setminus v_2)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G_1^{\bullet})=\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G_2^{\bullet}).

Available data is compatible with this purely combinatorial characterization of equal periods, but the general assertion remains unproved.
