This is a follow-up question to <https://mathoverflow.net/questions/378999/is-there-a-non-free-group-g-whose-subgroups-are-all-freely-decomposable/> In the answer to that question, Cornulier gives the following example (due to Kurosh) of a group $G$ which is not free, yet isomorphic to $G*\mathbb{Z}$: $$G=\langle (a_n)_{n\geq 0},(b_n)_{n\geq 1},\mid \left[a_n,b_n\right]=a_{n-1},\forall n\geq 1\rangle$$ Of course $G\cong G*F$ whenever $F$ is a finitely generated free group. Question: Is the group $$H=\langle (a_n)_{n\geq 0},(b_n)_{n\geq 1},(c_n)_{n\geq 1},(d_n)_{n\geq 1}\mid \left[a_n,b_n\right]\left[c_n,d_n\right]=a_{n-1},\forall n\geq 1\rangle$$ non-isomorphic to $H*F_n$, $n=1,2\;(\operatorname{mod}3)$? ($H$ is isomorphic to $H*F_3$.) Is $H$ isomorphic to $G$? It seems to me like it shouldn't be.
