Let \((M,g)\) be a simply connected manifold endowed with a homogeneous Riemannian structure \(T\neq 0\) of type \({\mathcal T}_ 3\) in the classification given by \textit{F. Tricerri} and \textit{L. Vanhecke} [Homogeneous structures on Riemannian manifolds, Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 83 (1983; Zbl 0509.53043)]. Let \(\widetilde{\nabla}\) be the Ambrose-Singer connection defined by \(\widetilde{\nabla} = \nabla - T\), where \(\nabla\) is the Lévi-Civita connection of \((M,g)\). In this paper the author describes \((M,g)\) in the case when \(\widetilde{\nabla}\) has an algebraic curvature tensor \(\widetilde{R}\), i.e., the cyclic sum \({\mathfrak S}\widetilde{R}(X,Y)Z=0\). The results complete the ones obtained in a previous paper [Geom. Dedicata 38, No. 2, 121-136 (1991; Zbl 0732.53039)].
