4-polytope with vertices at the binary octahedral group

Does anybody know if there is a convex polytope in $R^4$ with vertices at the binary octahedral group (identifying $H$ with $R^4$).

The binary tetrahedral group lies at the vertices of the so-called 24-cell, and the binary octahedral group is just a direct some of two binary tetrahedral groups, but it is not clear how to interpret that geometrically.

Experimentally, I have found that, for each octahedron in the 24-cell, each vertex in that octahedron is equidistance from exactly one point in binoct not in bintet. I don't know if this is relevant at all.
