The mass structure of hadron multiplets is understood to imply the inexactness of SU(3) symmetry. Here we show that these symmetry broken mass splittings amongst baryon and meson multiplet members are close integral multiples of the mass difference between a neutral pion and a muon, the first excitation within the elementary particle mass spectrum. This is found to be equally true for the mass intervals amongst the particles belonging to the multiplets having different spin and parity characteristics. The results reinforce our earlier contention that the mass difference between a neutral pion and a muon is of fundamental importance to the elementary particle mass distribution.
