Jan 19, 2019 at 9:29 comment added C. E. @Roman It would be good to make that an answer.
Jan 18, 2019 at 22:02 comment added Roman Quoting arxiv.org/pdf/1710.11282.pdf for the $d$-matrices: "Note that the MATHEMATICA sign convention is $\text{WignerD}[\{j,m_1,m_2\},\theta] = d^j_{-m1,-m2}(\theta)$." And yes, the signs of the phase exponentials for $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ differ as well, as far as I remember; but those are easy to check.
Jan 18, 2019 at 21:49 comment added Semiclassical @Roman Is that sign convention just a matter of plus/minus in the exponents? That'd be consistent with what I saw above.
Jan 18, 2019 at 21:17 comment added Roman Yes there are two common sign conventions. Mathematica doesn't use the one that most physicists use (the Wigner sign convention).
