Chest confirms this completely (0.02 secs :-).  Complete solution tree:

 Be3    c4 Ra1 =*=  Rh1#
        e4 Ra1 c4   Rh1#
 Ra1    c4 Bd2 =*=  Rh1#
           Be3 =*=  Rh1#
           Qf2 =*=  Qh2#
           Qg1 =*=  Qh1#
                    Qh2#
        e4 Be3 c4   Rh1#
           Bf4 =*=  Rh1#
 bxc6ep e4 Ne3 Kxg5 Kxd6#
 e4     c4 Qf2 c3   Qh2#
           Qg1 c3   Qh1#
                    Qh2#
           Ra2 c3   Rh2#
