Period conjecture for reversed Dickson second-kind polynomials over finite rings

Let p>3p>3 be a prime, let n1,n2>1n_1,n_2>1, and let En(1,x)E_n(1,x) denote the reversed Dickson polynomial of the second kind over Zp\mathbb{Z}_p. Reversed Dickson second-kind period conjecture. If

n1n2(modp(p21)),n_1\equiv n_2\pmod{p(p^2-1)},

then

En1(1,x)=En2(1,x)E_{n_1}(1,x)=E_{n_2}(1,x)

for every xZpx\in\mathbb{Z}_p. The conjecture is presented as an immediate consequence of the two preceding period conjectures and remains unproved in the source.
