Dear confused sailor,

willingly I do you the favor:

CSH fit:
          Estimated V Matrix for subject 1

 Row        Col1        Col2        Col3        Col4
   1     0.02540    0.005652    0.005251    0.005251
   2    0.005652     0.02540    0.005251    0.005251
   3    0.005251    0.005251     0.02498    0.004878
   4    0.005251    0.005251    0.004878     0.02498

UN fit:
          Estimated V Matrix for subject 1

 Row        Col1        Col2        Col3        Col4
   1     0.02732                 0.01202     0.01202
   2                 0.02732     0.01202     0.01202
   3     0.01202     0.01202     0.02476
   4     0.01202     0.01202                 0.02476

Same block for other subjects.

Unfortunately I have not found an option to give you directly the Z matrix to temper your confusion.
My suggestion: Go to sea and let the storm blow your brain clear :-D.

For 1 subject I suppose (if the four values are sorted by tmt and replicate number):
      random tmt
Tmt   R    T
R1    1    0
R2    1    0
T1    0    1
T2    0    1

According to your clear and concise memo of the rules of matrix multiplication this gives a 4x4 matrix for Z*G*Zt. Hope this helps.

Another tip: Have a look into

Helen Brown, Robin Prescott
"Applied Mixed Models in Medicine"
Second edition, John Wiley & Sons 2006
ISBN: 0-470-02356-2

There are a lot of matrix specifications in it.

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
