If, when truncating the vertices of the cuboctahedron, we move in exactly half way, the result is the rhombicuboctahedron.
In the figure above, we can see that the 8 triangular faces and
the 6 purple square faces are
what is left of the cubocahedron, after truncating
the corners of that solid. The 12 tan square faces arise from the
truncation procedure.
