:D
Yep this is indeed the same model i'm basing my research on, godwin. I've filled in about 50% of the normal indexes so far.
There is one flaw in that model, you/we only have 26 normals to place on that.
But I agree with you that this is the basic normals layout model to start with.

here are some index numbers :

back plane : 20
top plane : 17
front plane : 2
left plane : 9
right plane : 32
bottom plane : 12 (obtained from deduction)
etc...

In addition, it seems that for some edges there is an inbetween value. Either an edge definiton normal or it could also be an intermediate angle of 22.5°.

I'm not through with it yet. It is getting harder to find voxels that can provide me with more information then I have now...
