I was really looking forward to seeing both partitions with this topology, but the article sadly doesn't highlight the other one.

They do mention that the new partition #1055 has the same topology as partition #1022, and the partitions are numbered in the longer PDF https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/mathematical/gerbet_partition....

In the shorter PDF it's on page 19, bottom row, second from the left.
