   Nah, if you look at that box, it's pretty clear that the
   facet is not two studs wide, it's only *one*.  Then there's
   a two-stud gap, and finally a second one-stud facet for the
   opposing "half-6069" piece.  There's no way it could really
   be the 6069 triple facet, because two wouldn't fit in that
   space available and it's way too wide for just one.
