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 left side's headlights.

Its inverse is another case

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

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