A coefficient conjecture for a family of double Lambert series

From papers

Let aa be a positive integer, let nn be a positive integer, and write [qk]F(q)[q^k]F(q) for the coefficient of qkq^k in F(q)F(q). Let

σ1(n)=dnd\sigma_1(n)=\sum_{d\mid n}d

be the sum of the divisors of nn. Coefficient conjecture. One has

[qn2a]m,n1qmn2a(1+qn2a1)(1q2m1)=σ1(n).[q^{n2^a}]\sum_{m,n\geq1}\frac{q^{mn2^a}}{(1+q^{n2^{a-1}})(1-q^{2m-1})}=\sigma_1(n).

This conjecture predicts divisor-sum coefficients for a family of double Lambert series indexed by aa. The source presents it as one of two conjectures and does not provide evidence of a resolution.
