The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 16 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.
How to read the label
A2BC_oP16_62_2c_c_c-003: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP16, then the space-group number 62, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (C: 4c; C: 4c; Mo: 4c; U: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
