Don't know about a proof but the sequence of the (least) m which belongs to 
A145265(n) starts:
1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18,
20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 30, 31, 31, 32, 32, 33, 35,
36, 36, 37, 37, 38, 40, 41, 41, 42, 42, 43, 45, 46, 46, 47, 47, 48, 50, 51,
51, 52, 52, 53, 55, 56, 56, 57, 57, 58, 60, 61, 61, 62, 62, 63, 65, 66, 66,
67, 67, 68, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 75, 76, 76, 77, 77, 78, 80, 81, 81, 82,
82, 83

m(n+1)-m(n) is apparently periodic: deltam(n)={1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0,....)

P.S. I hope I did not overlook a similar post to this topic.
