It looks like two different creations to me.

HM, have you ever considered stuff like Uniform Tilings when doing work like this? I do not understand the math behind practically all of that page, but I do recognize some of the illustrations from my imagination. I think of a dodecahedron, a regular polyhedron made up of triangular faces. Then, I see regular pentagons formed from your groups of five equilateral triangles and I wondered if those pentagons could be used to uniformly tile a sphere. And that's when I googlized wikipedia. I see triangles and pentagons and squares under your sub-units of triangles. It makes me wonder if you do all of this freestyle, just making a shape to connect to a previous shape, until you get to the last ones where you'd have to do some thinking, like a 3D game of Nim.
