HUGE, complex radio structure; host?

Here's what it looks like in FIRST (zoomed out somewhat, and centered on ~(29.469,2.165)):
And in NVSS (ditto):
#x-shaped in NVSS; W clearly a #lobe in FIRST, but "E lobe" an #hourglass!?!
Perhaps the host is zsp 0.222 SDSS J015752.52+020954.0? No refs in NED, but there are two NVSS sources nearby, at distances of 0.988' and 0.991' (so it seems it could well be the host). Oh, and it's got an AGN:
At z= 0.22, it may be a #giant; if the lobe-lobe separation is ~7', I get ~1.5 Mpc ...

Thanks.
I knew something this big/like this would've been discovered long ago, and very likely by either you or antikodon ...
