(In reply to computer solution by Charlie)

 

 Victor Thébault in 1959 published( American Mathematical Monthly of January 1959)  the triplet <Begin>

88209 90288 126225     (7780827681 8151922944 15932750625  corresponding  squares)   <end>  which triggered my post.

Charlie, your 2 additional solutions (maybe adding one more, runtime allowing) definitely justify   the adding of 3 interesting sequences (a, b, c) to the OEIS folder.

 Strongly recommend you do it.
