ARG0003mlh, #doublelobe, one or two hosts?

Here's ARG0003mlh, which appears to be a #doublelobe, albeit a very #unusual one.
The contour overlay image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk
thread.A possible host for the emission appears to be SDSS J141137.05+031017.2, which has a z_sp=0.371 +/- 0.00011. There doesn't appear to be any radio references in NED or SIMBAD for this galaxy, but there is an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J141137.01+031017.1.
As per the classification comments left, this galaxy is noted as being in a galaxy cluster. If this is one host, this possibly explains the emission. As for this being one host or two, others may wish to comment further on this.
Here's the First image.
As always, comments, suggestions, welcome.

If I had to guess, I reckon it could be 2 separate hosts.

I think this is mystery. With the data we have to hand, I think there's no way to say with confidence what the host is (or hosts are).
Maybe we should start a Collection? Really Mysterious Radio Sources (RMRS); nah, not catchy enough. Suggestions? 😃

Personally, I was leaning more towards the one host. Looks very twisted and elongated, just looking at the First image, but agree, could be two, and there is no way to pin down conclusively a host.

Maybe something along the lines of How to describe the radio morphology.

That's fair enough. Yes, without further dedicated observations, this will be a fairly long list. 😉
