Thank you, everyone.

In summary,
a proxy may challenge a UA with 407 due to authenticate the UA.
The UA that received 407 including challenge do the following steps:

In the case of 'a Sender-------(INVITE)------->a Proxy(Sender side)':

Step1) Checking 407 responder
A Sender recognize a responder that sent 407 with challenge
checking up 'FROM header' (in 407) with 'ROUTE header'(in INVITE).

Step2) Send an INVITE with the response
The Sender re-send an INVITE with response for the challenge
(that the Sender received from the Proxy).

*If a Proxy( Receiver side) received 407 with challenge from an Receiver,
the Proxy MAY also re-send an INVITE with response.

So, the following case is considered as well:

In the case of 'a Proxy(Receiver side)-------(INVITE)------->a Receiver':

Step1) Checking 407 responder
A Receiver recognize a responder that sent 407 with challenge
checking up 'FROM header'(in 407 from the Receiver) with the 'TO header'
(in an INVITE).

*** The checking headers is different from the first case.
In the first case, checking 'FROM' with 'ROUTE'
while, in this case, checking 'FROM' with 'TO'.

But can it(Step1) make a function correctly?

Step2) Send an INVITE with the response
The above Proxy(Receiver side) re-send an INVITE with response for the challenge
that the Proxy received from the Receiver.

Is the above correct?
