Off-Topic: Unusual MiniMoog Waveform

To anyone out there who owns/owned/spent-time-with a Mini

I was squinting at a photo the other day and I noticed something I had never noticed before. Two of the VCOs on the Mini Model D appear to have some kind of off-beat waveform. It looks like a Triangle with the symmetry set badly, or perhaps a triangle mixed with a sawtooth or a triangle mixed with a sawtooth an octave lower.

Am I looking at this wrong, or was this a real waveform on the Mini? Any idea what it is, what it was called, how it was made?

Just idle curiosity assuming Im not mistaken, I dont know how Ive missed it before (although Ive never actually seen a Mini up close). I thought the Mini used the modular 921 VCO boards, but I dont remember ever having seen this particular waveform anywhere else. Thats why Im thinking its probably a composite of two other waveforms in some way.

Thanks in advance.
