Correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that the up and down motion of the wave packet of a photon might be an orbital movement. I find this more appealing in that it simplifies the number of fundamental motions - angular velocity perhaps being one or the singular fundamental motion.

I am also aware of some research where two lasers were pointed at each other and the collision created an electron and a positron.
If the colliding photons from the lasers give rise to the two particles, it would seem that the angular motions (orbits) would oppose each other in the collision. Thus, your hypothesis might be accounted for, not by the inherent particle/anti-particle within the wave packet, but rather by the topography of the collision. This seems more parsimonious to me.
Might this be workable within your model?
