Hi,

lst = {{0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 2, 2}, {0, 0, 3, 3}, {1, 1, 0, 0}, {1, 1,
    2, 2}, {1, 1, 3, 3}, {2, 2, 0, 0}, {2, 2, 1, 1}, {2, 2, 3, 3}, {3,
    3, 0, 0}, {3, 3, 1, 1}, {3, 3, 2, 2}};

and

Cases[
  Flatten[Outer[List, lst, lst, 1], 1],
  {{a_, a_, b_, b_}, {b_, b_, a_, a_}}]

?

Regards
   Jens
