The centralizer-count and derived-order conjecture for finite groups

Let GG and SS be finite groups. Write GG' and SS' for their derived subgroups, and let Cent(G)Cent(G) and Cent(S)Cent(S) denote the sets of centralizers of elements of GG and SS, respectively.

Centralizer-count and derived-order conjecture. If

Cent(G)=Cent(S)andG=S,|Cent(G)|=|Cent(S)|\quad\text{and}\quad |G'|=|S'|,

then GG is isoclinic to SS.

The conjecture was posed as a question by the authors of the cited source. It is refuted: Zarrin gave a counterexample, and also showed that isoclinic finite groups have the same number of centralizers, whereas the converse fails.
