elongated square gyro bicupola

I've been trying to figure out why this shape is not uniform. All it's vertices have 3 squares and 1 triangle (if I've got that right)

"as there are pairs of vertices such that there is no isometry of the solid which maps one into the other. Essentially, two types of vertices can be distinguished by their "neighbors of neighbors."

This is the only clue I have but I don't know what it means. Can someone explain it to me?:D I would be most grateful.


Why did the chicken cross the Mobius Band?
To get to the other ...um...!!!
