I agree that those are the dimensions and angles.
But they are the angles of the unit cell, and ATM I fail to see how you need
them.

What I DO see, is that you have numerical triplets, indicating the hkl indices.
I believe that you can simply use those numbers as the normal vectors for all of
the face planes.  Maybe there's a way to display them with greater precision.
Still not sure about the offset, but maybe once you get the ball rolling, some
light will be shed on that aspect of the data.

Perhaps if there are tables of human readable hkl indices for different crystal
structures, you can compare and contrast and discern a pattern.

And that's all I have before 1st coffee.   :D
