Uniqueness conjecture for tetrahedral genus-zero dessins

From papers

Let a genus-00 passport be of one of the forms

π=(2r,a3s,b3t,c),\pi=(2^r,a \mathop{|} 3^s,b \mathop{|} 3^t,c),

or

π=(2r,a3s3t,b,c),\pi=(2^r,a \mathop{|} 3^s \mathop{|} 3^t,b,c),

where 2a2\nmid a, 3b3\nmid b, and 3c3\nmid c. A realization of π\pi is a dessin d'enfant having this passport.

Uniqueness conjecture. For each such passport, its realization as a dessin d'enfant is unique.

The preceding theorem establishes existence of a realization for every passport in these two families. The uniqueness claim is presented as supported by computer calculations; no proof or resolution is given here.
