The group is $G = SU(3) SU(2) U(1)/\Gamma$, where $\Gamma$ is a subgroup of $Z_6$ which cannot be determined by current experiments. We describe how the electric, magnetic and dyonic line operators of the theory depend on the choice of $\Gamma$. We also explain how the periodicity of the theta angles, associated to each factor of $G$, differ.
