Let p stand for an odd prime.
Using the characterization, communicated by David W. Wilson,
	p^(q-1) where q is prime except for 2 or a Fermat prime
for the numbers which are in A050150 but not in A062090, I obtained the
sequence (of terms < 10^12)

729, 15625, 59049, 117649, 531441, 1771561, 4826809, 9765625, 24137569,

326940373369, 496981290961, 832972004929, ...

Using the characterization, also communicated by David W. Wilson,
	p^2^n where 2^n+1 is neither 2 nor a Fermat prime
for the numbers (except for the initial 1) which are in A062090 but not
in A050150, I obtained the sequence (of terms < 10^17)

6561, 390625, 5764801, 214358881, 815730721, 6975757441, 16983563041,
78310985281, 500246412961, 852891037441, 3512479453921, 7984925229121,

67675234241018881, 86730203469006241, ...
(coincides in the beginning with p^8 (p > 2), first divergence is at
3^32 = 1853020188851841).

David, thanks for the message!
