Solving $rX_1^2+sY_1^2+tZ_1^2=rX_2^2+sY_2^2+tZ_2^2$ completely in integers

Question

Given pairwise relatively prime integers $r,s,t$, I’m looking for a complete solution (i.e., integer parameterization or similar) for the Diophantine equation $$ rX_1^2+sY_1^2+tZ_1^2=rX_2^2+sY_2^2+tZ_2^2. \tag{$\bigstar$} $$ I know I can collect terms on one side and apply the Bachet-Cauchy-Bezout parameterization in linear terms… but I was hoping this wheel had already been solved.

EDIT/CLARIFICATION:

Using the classical Bachet-Cauchy-Bezout complete linear solution, we can solve the equation $$ r(x_1^2-x_2^2)+s(y_1^2-y_2^2)+t(z_1^2-z_2^2)=0, $$ to obtain three linear equations of the form $$ sc_1+t(-b_1)+(x_2-x_1)(x_2+x_1)=0, $$ where $a_1,b_1,c_1$ are arbitrary integers. Applying the complete solution again to each of the three new equations leads to three solutions of the form \begin{align} x_1 &= \frac{(sb_2-ta_2)^2+(sc_1-tb_1)}{2(sb_2-ta_2)} &&\text{and}& x_2 &= \frac{(sb_2-ta_2)^2-(sc_1-tb_1)}{2(sb_2-ta_2)}, \end{align} where the $a_i,b_i,c_i$ are all arbitrary integers. Once equated and solved, the result would ostensibly be the complete integer parameterization of $(\bigstar)$.

Answer 1

$U = X_1^2 - X_2^2$, $V = Y_1^2 - Y_2^2$, $W = Z_1^2 - Z_2^2$ can be any solution of $r U + s V + t W = 0$ such that none is congruent to $2 \mod 4$. Then for any factorization $U = A B$ with $A \equiv B \mod 2$ you take $X_1 = (A+B)/2$, $X_2 = (A-B)/2$ etc.

Answer 2

For the equation.

$$rX_1^2+sY_1^2+tZ_1^2=rX_2^2+sY_2^2+tZ_2^2$$

You can write the solution in this form.

$$X_1=r(e-k)^2+s(n-p)(n+p-2k)+t(j-u)(j+u-2k)$$

$$X_2=r(e-k)^2-s(n-p)(n+p-2e)-t(j-u)(j+u-2e)$$

$$Y_1=s(n-p)^2+r(e-k)(e+k-2p)+t(j-u)(j+u-2p)$$

$$Y_2=s(n-p)^2-r(e-k)(e+k-2n)-t(j-u)(j+u-2n)$$

$$Z_1=t(j-u)^2+r(e-k)(e+k-2u)+s(n-p)(n+p-2u)$$

$$Z_2=t(j-u)^2-r(e-k)(e+k-2j)-s(n-p)(n+p-2j)$$

Such a record is better because allows to solve the symmetrical equation with any number of summands. It is only necessary to increase the number of parameters.
