Here are the positions generated using structgen along with spacegroup in 
w2web. Starting from non-equivalent positions 0 0 0 and 1/3 2/3 1/4 
generates two equivalent extra positions. Therefore the unit cell contains 
four atoms, and spacegroup confirms the P63/mmc space group (without 
warning).
