      This article provides examples of modular tensor categories with braided dualizing tensor autoequivalences, coming from categories of representations and Drinfel'd centers of groups. This is done via identifying class-inverting (or double class-inverting resp.) automorphisms of these groups. Explicit computations, with e.g. abelian, symmetric or alternating groups enlighten these results. The motivation is to find examples of chiral conformal field theories whose chiral algebra is the same -- but for which the diagonal modular invariant is not physical. Diagonal modular invariants and braided dualizing tensor autoequivalences have a close relation, hence the results presented here reveal themselves as a powerful way to accomplish this task.
