Scramble D' U B F' L2 R' D2 F' L R' F D2 L F2 R U2 F2 L2 R D2 B' F R' F'

I have a feeling this scramble is meant for CFOP, but I use roux :(

inspection: 'white top orange front' / y'
first block: D L2 D2 R U' Rw U Rw' U2 Rw' F (11 moves)
Second Block: Rw2 U' Rw' U' R U2 R U' M' Rw' U' R2 U' R' U M U' M2 U2 Rw U Rw' (22 moves)
CMLL(2look): U2 R' F R U F U' F' R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 R L (18 moves)
LSE: M' U M' U M' U M U M' U2 M' U2 M2 U2 M' (15 moves)
66 moves total. Not that good. Probably could have been a lot more efficient if I was color neutral and used 1 look CMLL.

Note: The 3rd pair can be simply inserted using U2 L U' L' or U' L U2 L'. Then do your normal OLL, COLL or ZBLL for the U OLL as you have all edges oriented.
I am someone who particularly doesn't like solving OLL. So after solving the 2nd F2L pair I was fortunate enough that all the edges were oriented and the last pair was also paired up.
So to recognize this case you just have to look at the two non-oriented blue stickers. In this case one is on the R face and the other is at the B face. So an intuitive way to skip the OLL for this cases is by simply
putting the pair on the right with a U' then hide it with a R' then do a inverse-sexy move from the back pair where it needs to go. You can do y2(Inverse-Sexy) but without the y2 it will be U L U' L'.
After that, take out the pair with a R and insert it with U' L U' L'. But you should not insert it using U2. So don't insert with L U2 L'.
