Can someone help me figure this Holter Result out?

Total VE Beats: 7
Multiforms: 3
Couplets: 1
Triplets: 0
Bigeminy Runs: 0

ACCELERATED IDIOVENTRICULAR RHYTHM
AIVR Run Episode: 1
Longest AIVR Run: 3 beats Time Occurred: 4/1/2018 3:15:48 AM
Min AIVR Run Rate: 78 bpm Time Occurred: 4/1/2018 3:15:48 AM

Results
There were rare, multiform PVC's with 1 couplet and 1 triplet.
There were 4 PAC's.
No symptoms were reported.
12 lead

As you can see there, the actual read out said i had a couplet of PVC's and no triplets.  But it said i had a 3 beat run of AIVR.  However, the notes from the person reading the holter state i had a PVC triplet.

Could the triplet have masked itself as a short AIVR run instead of pinging as a triplet?  

Quick backstory, 10 years ago, my last holter was 24h and said i had 6600 pvc's in a day with no 2's or 3's in a row after starting a high dose of verapamil.  Eventually the skips almost completely went away.  Now, 10 years later,  i had a 48h holter and it only caught 13 total pvc's in two days, but a couplet and triplet.  neat?

I also had a stress test and ultrasound, both were normal.
