Is it true that $\int_0^\infty \frac{f(x)}{x} \sin \bigl(\frac{\pi x}{a}\bigr) \,\mathrm{d}x = \frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{a/2} f(x) \,\mathrm{d}x$?

Corollary 3.1

An even function with period $a$ means $f(a-x)=f(x)$. $$ \begin{align} \int_0^\infty\frac{f(x)}x\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x &=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_0^af(x)\left(\frac1{x+2ka}-\frac1{x+(2k+1)a}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag1\\ &=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_0^af(x)\left(\frac1{x+2ka}+\frac1{x-(2k+2)a}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag2\\ &=\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\int_0^af(x)\,\frac1{x+2ka}\,\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag3\\ &=\frac\pi{2a}\int_0^af(x)\cot\left(\frac{\pi x}{2a}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag4\\[3pt] &=\frac\pi{2a}\int_0^af(x)\tan\left(\frac{\pi x}{2a}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag5\\[3pt] &=\frac\pi{2a}\int_0^af(x)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag6\\ &=\frac\pi{a}\int_0^{a/2}f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag7\\ \end{align} $$ Explanation:
$(1)$: $f(x+a)=f(x)$ and $\sin\left(\frac{\pi(x+a)}a\right)=-\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)$
$(2)$: $f(a-x)=f(x)$ and $\sin\left(\frac{\pi(a-x)}a\right)=\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)$ on the second term of the sum
$(3)$: write as a sum over $\mathbb{Z}$
$(4)$: use $(7)$ from this answer
$(5)$: $f(a-x)=f(x)$ and $\sin\left(\frac{\pi(a-x)}a\right)=\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)$
$(6)$: average $(4)$ and $(5)$
$(7)$: $f(a-x)=f(x)$

Lemma 3.1

An odd function with period $a$ means $f(a-x)=-f(x)$. $$ \begin{align} \int_0^\infty\frac{f(x)}x\,\mathrm{d}x &=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_0^af(x)\left(\frac1{x+ka}\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag8\\ &=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_0^af(x)\left(\frac1{x-(k+1)a}\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag9\\ &=\frac12\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\int_0^af(x)\left(\frac1{x+ka}\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag{10}\\ &=\frac\pi{2a}\int_0^af(x)\cot\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag{11}\\ &=\frac\pi{a}\int_0^{a/2}f(x)\cot\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)\,\mathrm{d}x\tag{12} \end{align} $$ Explanation:
$\phantom{1}(8)$: $f(x+a)=f(x)$
$\phantom{1}(9)$: $f(a-x)=-f(x)$
$(10)$: average $(8)$ and $(9)$ and write as a sum over $\mathbb{Z}$
$(11)$: use $(7)$ from this answer
$(12)$: $f(a-x)\cot\left(\frac{\pi(a-x)}a\right)=f(x)\cot\left(\frac{\pi x}a\right)$

robjohn has already given a complete derivation of both results. I would like only to point out the details which have prevented you from deriving the Corollary from the Lemma.

1. There is either a misprint or a mistake in both Lemma and Corollary. The prefactor on the rhs of the equalities shoud be $\frac\pi a$ rather than $\frac\pi2$.

2. As you quite correctly guessed there is a missing 1/2 factor in the cotan argument. However it is missing not in the lemma but in the derivation!

Indeed the function $$ f(x)=g(x)\sin\frac{\pi x}a, $$
where $g(x)$ is an even $a$-periodic function, is an odd $\color{red}{2a}$-periodic function. Therefore the Lemma 3.1 for this function reads: $$ \int_0^\infty g(x)\sin\frac{\pi x}a dx =\frac\pi{\color{red}{2a}}\int_0^\color{red}a g(x)\sin\frac{\pi x}a \cot\frac{\pi x}{\color{red}{2a}} dx. $$

PS. I have just looked into the cited paper and found that the authors used the correct prefactor.
