Super cool, infobservador! 😄
This looks like a core plus single lobe; there's no counterpart, overedge, lobe in FIRST:
The "IR object" which "has lenticular form" is SDSS J140535.56+190612.9 (zoomed in, compared with the WISE image):
This is a (perhaps nearly) edge-on spiral!!!! With a spectrum, z=0.057, classified (automatically) as STARFORMING; it may, of course, be in the 'Composite' part of a BPT diagram (the SDSS spectroscopic pipeline isn't always good at making this call).
NED has nothing on it being a radio source associated with a lobe, so it may be a new discovery ... only the third or fourth such system found (to date). Not exactly Hourglass sources associated with spiral galaxies, but still ...

I produced a composite FIRST + SDSS image, and posted it in the GZ forum OOTD, Friday, 21 February, 2014: Very Strange Spirals?:
Pretty cool, eh? 😃

SDSS J140535.56+190612.9 has an SDSS z_sp of 0.057, and obvious nuclear radio emission. Is the nearby (on the sky) radio emission associated with the disk galaxy? Hard to say, right?
By the way, this object also features in ARG0002es2.
Boilerplate: SDSS image per

, FIRST (red) contours derived from the FITS file produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J140535.56+190612.9; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.Posted
