How to recognise it

One side has a full bar and the other three have headlights: hold the bar at the back. The front edge has the colour of the right side's headlights.

Its inverse is another case

Do the Ua algorithm backwards, M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2, and you are solving Ub.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles Ua that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise Ua and not Ub.
