DT/PT correspondence for mixed four-fold vertices with leg boundary conditions

From papers

Let πa,+\vec{\pi}_{a,+} be nn-tuples of plane partitions and πa,\vec{\pi}_{a,-} be mm-tuples of plane partitions for each of the four legs. Let vα=eaαv_\alpha=e^{\mathfrak{a}_\alpha}, wα=ebαw_\alpha=e^{\mathfrak{b}_\alpha}, xβ=ecβx_\beta=e^{\mathfrak{c}_\beta}, and yβ=edβy_\beta=e^{\mathfrak{d}_\beta}. Denote by Zπ1,±π2,±π3,±π4,±+\mathcal{Z}^{+}_{\vec{\pi}_{1,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{2,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{3,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{4,\pm}} and Zπ1,±π2,±π3,±π4,±\mathcal{Z}^{-}_{\vec{\pi}_{1,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{2,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{3,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{4,\pm}} the mixed (DTPT)(\mathrm{DT}|\mathrm{PT}) and (PTDT)(\mathrm{PT}|\mathrm{DT}) vertices. Mixed-vertex DT/PT correspondence. One has

Zπ1,±π2,±π3,±π4,±+[q,q1,2,3,4]=MF[α=1nwαvαβ=1myβxβ]Zπ1,±π2,±π3,±π4,±[q,q1,2,3,4].\mathcal{Z}^{+}_{\vec{\pi}_{1,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{2,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{3,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{4,\pm}}[\mathfrak{q},q_{1,2,3,4}]=\operatorname{MF}\left[\prod_{\alpha=1}^{n}\frac{w_{\alpha}}{v_{\alpha}}\prod_{\beta=1}^{m}\frac{y_{\beta}}{x_{\beta}}\right]\mathcal{Z}^{-}_{\vec{\pi}_{1,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{2,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{3,\pm}\vec{\pi}_{4,\pm}}[\mathfrak{q},q_{1,2,3,4}].

Here the mixed vertices combine PT4 counting on the positive brane part with DT4 counting on the opposite brane part. The identity is stated conjecturally and no resolution is given.
