Shane Farnsworth also insinuates the diagonal in his thesis
https://inspirehep.net/record/1419192/files/Farnsworth_Shane.pdf

it is natural to ask: ‘does F4 have a subgroup which leaves the three diagonal real elements, as well as the real element and one imaginary element from each off-diagonal octonion invariant?’ The subgroup is once again exactly SU(3). In other words, on breaking down from F4 to SU(3) one obtains three ‘quark’ triplets, three ‘lepton’ singlets, and three ‘Majorana’ like dark matter candidates.
