I think you are looking for the following: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3243724/which-geometric-shape-of-icosahedron-origin-has-180-faces-270-edges-92-vertices I have not constructed one, but to make the Sonobe version you would have to replace each triangle in the figure with triangular pyramids. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Conway_polyhedron_K6k5tI.png Also, here is a similar construction but not with Sonobe Units. It's with spikier units but the idea is the same. http://origamee.net/gallery/spiky.html The underlying structure is a buckyball. Hope all this helps.
