Variants of A047812 (Parker's partition Triangle)

Seqfans, 
    Consider A047812, Parker's partition triangle. 
It is constructed from selected coefficients of q found within 
the central q-binomial coefficients. 
One lovely feature is that the row sums form the Catalan numbers. 
 
It is interesting to consider other patterns within the q-binomial 
coefficients.  I have made a few attempts at this. 
Below I copy 2 symmetric triangles that are variants of A047812. 
 
Note that both triangles have row sums related to A003239, 
the number of rooted planar trees with n non-root nodes. 
 
Perhaps someone else would like to explore this on their own to
find other significant triangles from the q-binomial coefficients.
