Uniqueness conjecture for the 12-vertex flag triangulation of the 3-sphere

From papers

Let T12T_{12} be the triangulation referred to in the surrounding discussion. A flag triangulation of S3S^3 has 12 vertices, and every edge is contained in a square.

Uniqueness conjecture. T12T_{12} is, up to isomorphism, the only flag triangulation of S3S^3 with 12 vertices in which every edge is contained in a square.

The claim concerns the apparent gap in the enumeration of flag triangulations between 8 and 12 vertices and singles out T12T_{12} among the 12-vertex examples. The source provides no resolution of this conjecture.
