Wow! Your double flip is very short!

If the reference point is chosen so that the polygons do form a pair, the commutator is two 2-cycles (for example, white, yellow, white’, yellow’). And in the solved state, one of the 2-cycles is swapping identical pieces. So the two 2-cycles look just like a single 2-cycle. In the near solved stage, this algorithm can really be used as a 2-cycle.
