Csorba's Hom-complex model for Stiefel manifolds

For a graph GG, let Hom(G,H)\text{\tt Hom}(G,H) denote its Hom-complex. Let V2(Rn1)V_2(\mathbb R^{n-1}) be the Stiefel manifold of orthonormal 22-frames in Rn1\mathbb R^{n-1}. Csorba's conjecture. For every n1n\geq 1, the complex Hom(C5,Kn)\text{\tt Hom}(C_5,K_n) is homeomorphic to V2(Rn1)V_2(\mathbb R^{n-1}). The cases n=1,2n=1,2 are tautological, and the source reports verification through n=4n=4; no general proof is supplied.
