A Symmetrohedron Which Is Also a “Near Near Miss”

I’ve spent a lot of time over the years looking for “near misses” to the Johnson Solids, and I’ve found two of them in all that time, starting in 2003. This isn’t one, for it has an edge length deviation of about 11%, which is too much to get overly excited about. It is, however, a symmetrohedron. The hexagons, pentagons, and yellow triangles are all regular; it’s only the blue triangles which are irregular (and isosceles). It has 122 faces in all. I think I can also say, with confidence, that it is a “near near miss.” In other words, it’s nearly a near-miss to the Johnson Solids. Confused yet? I know I am.
