Many materials of relavance ​have near cubic symmetry with a small D3d distortion. It thus makes sense to label the sttes in D3d symmetry according to the states they branch from. For d orbitals the eg orbitals in Oh symmetry branch to orbitals that belong to the eg irriducible ​representation in D3d symmetry. The t2g orbitals in Oh symmetry branch to an orbital that belongs to the a1g irriducible ​representation and two that belong to the eg irricucible ​representation. We label the eg orbitals that decend ​from the eg irriducible ​representation in Oh symmetry eg$\sigma$ and the eg orbitals that decend ​from the t2g irriducible ​representation eg$\pi$ orbitals.

The different orientations of Oh with respect to D3d do however change the definitions of the eg$\pi$ and eg$\sigma$ orbitals. We inlcude ​three different representations of the orbitals and potentials for each setting of D3d symmetry. The orientation without ​aditional ​letter takes the tesseral harmonics as a basis. This basis does not relate to the states in Oh symmetry. The orientation with an aditional ​A or B relate to the two differnt ​supergroup representations of the Oh point group. + As one can see in the list of supergroups of D3d, there are two different orientations of Oh that are a supergroup of this orientation of D3d.
