The exponent-pair conjecture for weak Carmichael numbers

From papers

Let e,f,e,fe,f,e',f' be integers with 1ef1\le e\le f, e+f3e+f\ge 3, and likewise 1ef1\le e'\le f' and e+f3e'+f'\ge 3. Let Pw(e,f){\mathcal P}_w(e,f) denote the set of pairs (p,q)(p,q) of distinct primes such that peqfCw(e,f)p^e q^f\in {\mathcal C}_w(e,f), where Cw(e,f){\mathcal C}_w(e,f) is the corresponding set of weak Carmichael numbers. Exponent-pair conjecture. If

Pw(e,f)=Pw(e,f),{\mathcal P}_w(e',f')={\mathcal P}_w(e,f),

then f=ff=f' and eee\mid e', or e=ee=e' and fff\mid f'. This conjecture describes when two exponent pairs determine the same prime-pair set; the source provides the inclusion in one direction and conjectures this converse, with no resolution stated.
