This polychoron can be obtained as the convex hull of the 2 ico compound (stoc). Here all the edges of the former remain as long ones, while the short ones come in as interconnections of the 2 vertex set members. Each cell then joins a pair of adjacent vertices of one set to a pair of adjacent vertices of the other set, thus being a disphenoid.
