It is also true that the automorphism group of the quadratic form is known. See Is there a topograph for Pythagorean triples?Is there a topograph for Pythagorean triples? and the three matrices. If you have any particular $x^2 + y^2 - z^2 = n,$ write $(x,y,z)$ as a column vector. Multiply by any of the three square matrices or its inverse and you get another solution for $n.$ Multiply again you get another, and so on for any combination of group elements.

I see, for your ordering you need to switch first and last elements to use these three matrices.
