Uniqueness conjecture for the 15-vertex triangulation of a non-orientable 4-manifold

From papers

Let M=(S^3\text{\times\hspace{-1.62ex}_\hspace{-.4ex}_\hspace{.7ex}}S^1)\#({\mathbb C}{\bf P}^{\,2})^{\# 5}, and let 41514\text{}^4\hspace{.3pt}15^{\,4}_{\,1} denote the specified combinatorial triangulation of MM. A triangulation is vertex-minimal if it uses the minimum possible number of vertices among triangulations of the same manifold. Uniqueness conjecture. The combinatorial manifold 41514\text{}^4\hspace{.3pt}15^{\,4}_{\,1} is the unique vertex-minimal triangulation of MM with 1515 vertices. The paper identifies 41514\text{}^4\hspace{.3pt}15^{\,4}_{\,1} as a vertex-transitive triangulation of this manifold, but does not establish the asserted uniqueness.
