Very, very cool, A1001! 😄
Unfortunately, none of these three objects has a spectrum, though NED gives the central one (the pinkish one) a zph of 2.735 (ref), which I think is highly implausible, given that the two whitish blobs are almost certainly related.
If I had time on a big telescope, this is certainly one object that would be very high on my list! 😃

I started a thread over in GZ Talk ("What do you all think this is?") on this; let's see what folk there have to say about this fascinating object ...

SIMBAD gives a spectrum redshift of z(~) 0.1012 [0.0003].
from
The PSCz catalogue.

NED gives physical diameters of 36.78 x 33.84 kpc (based on / corrected for photometric redshift of 2.735000 but seems reasonable, close to Milky Way value only not as a disk).
