The triangles {(t,t,T)} have vertex angles t = arccos(2/3) = 48.189685° resp. T = arccos(1/9) = 83.620630°.
Edge sizes used here are tT = x = 1 (short) resp. tt = b = 4/3 = 1.333333 (long).
A nice construction is shown at the right: Start with a small co of edge size 1/q. Apiculating its squares by according squippies results in an oct of edge size 2/q = q, thus already providing exactly the above provided second vertex type coordinates. Also apiculating its triangles by according tets will provide a tip-to-tip diagonal of 1/q ⋅ q/h (scaling × tet-height) + 1/q ⋅ 2q/h (scaling × co-height between parallel triangles) + 1/q ⋅ q/h (opposite tet) = 4/3 h, i.e. exactly the vertex-to-vertex diagonal of the here being used b-scaled cube, hence giving rise to the above given first set of coordinates. Thus m3m4o then is just the hull of that all-apiculated co, even within its correct metricallity.
