Additional notes

In the upper front right corner, 'OA' should be 'AO'.

In the lower front left corner, 'AP' should be 'AI'.

AO and PO occupy resp. the front and back faces of the cube.

AI and PI occupy resp. the left and right faces of the cube.

N and DN occupy resp. the top and bottom faces of the cube.
