Integrality conjecture for type A string polytopes

Let GG be of type AnA_n, let w0\underline{w}_0 be any reduced decomposition of the longest Weyl-group element, and let λ\lambda be a weight. Write Qw0(λ)Q_{\underline{w}_0}(\lambda) for the associated polytope, and let αi\alpha_i^{\vee} denote the simple coroots. The polytope is integral when its vertices have integral coordinates. Integrality conjecture. For every reduced decomposition w0\underline{w}_0, the polytope Qw0(λ)Q_{\underline{w}_0}(\lambda) is integral if and only if

λ,αiZ\langle\lambda,\alpha_i^{\vee}\rangle\in\mathbb Z

for all ii. The paper gives computational evidence in low-rank type A, including integrality for G=SLnG=\operatorname{SL}_n with n5n\leq 5, but does not state a resolution.
