Eventual p-adic periodicity conjecture for generalized j-Euler numbers

From papers

Let pp be a prime number, let mm be a divisor of p1p-1 or let m=2m=2, and let qq be the least common multiple of 22 and p1p-1. Let jj be the parameter in the generalized jj-Euler numbers {En(d,j)}\{\mathcal{E}_n^{(d,j)}\}, defined by

n=0En(d,j)tnn!=(1+l=1tdl(dl+j)!)1.\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\mathcal{E}_{n}^{(d,j)}\frac{t^n}{n!}=\left(1+\sum_{l=1}^{\infty}\frac{t^{dl}}{(dl+j)!}\right)^{-1}.

Eventual p-adic periodicity conjecture. The numbers Empn(mp,j)\mathcal{E}_{mpn}^{(mp,j)} are pp-adic integers, and for every positive integer rr there is a positive integer n0n_0 such that

Empn+qpr(mp,j)Empn(mp,j)(modpr)\mathcal{E}_{mpn+qp^r}^{(mp,j)}\equiv\mathcal{E}_{mpn}^{(mp,j)}\pmod{p^r}

for every nn0n\geq n_0. This conjecture predicts eventual pp-adic periodicity for a composite-parameter family of generalized Euler numbers. The paper reports computational evidence but the supplied text gives no resolution.
