I thought symexp() would accomplish this, no?
From:
http://pymol.sourceforge.net/newman/user/S0400xtal.html

Something like:

fetch 3hhz
symexp mysymm, 3hhz, (3hhz), 2.75

(I came up with 2.75 by trail-and-error as 2.5 generates no symmetry
mates and 3.0 generated too many)

In the case of 3m2m, the header you pasted shows there are 12
potential biological assemblies, 1 through 8 are all monomeric,
however. 9 through 12 are the dimeric assemblies. If you need a dimer,
you need to download any one of 9 through 12, which are probably all
equivalent to one another. Note that PISA seems to believe that this
is a monomer. I would be sure that you have other evidence that this
is a dimer, as there are other crystal contacts in the deposited 3m2m.

These might also help
