This non-convex scaliform polyhedron is an only briquet symmetrical ridge-faceting of the oct. In fact, similar as thah is derived by all 3 internal squares and squippy by only 1 internal square, bobipyr is obtained by using 2 internal squares instead.

The second incidence matrix below shows that bobipyr, taken as an abstract polyhedron, would be self-dual.
