I never saw a diagram of a Tricor, so I can't say. As I mentioned to David Young, one of the higher priced California camera shops had one in LTM mount at one time, and he was asking a fairly high price, perhaps because of its uniqueness. If you didn't see the image I posted, I will place the link below.

Interesting---
I wonder if it is a Cooke Triplet?  Sounds like 3 elements anyway.  Some modern 
version of Cooke Triplets, given all the degrees of freedom provided by 
available glass, can be very very good.
