Despite of being uniform and additionally having a single face shape only, these fall into different classes of symmetry.
This uniform skew polyhedron looks like being obtained from all the squares of a structure, built of interlocking squobcues. None the less those aren't true according Johnson solids, rather those are variants thereof. In fact the axial height h of those bicupolae has to be chosen such that it matches to the equatorial triangle-triangle edges c, while all squares remain regular. This then amounts in values c = h = 2/sqrt(3) = 1.154701 > 1
