Conjecture on equivalence of irrational-angle tilings to triquadratic tilings

Let ABCABC be a triangle that is NN-tiled, meaning it is tiled by NN congruent triangles. Let the tile have angles α\alpha and β\beta satisfying

3α+2β=π,3\alpha+2\beta=\pi,

and suppose that α\alpha is not a rational multiple of π\pi. Equivalence conjecture. The tiling is equivalent to a triquadratic tiling, where equivalence is the transitive closure of replacing a parallelogram in a connected component by a parallelogram lattice-tiled in a different way. This concerns the unresolved classification of tilings and the number of tilings for a fixed triangle, tile, and NN.
