NAT? Restarted? Two hosts??

Quite spectacular, eh?
I think the host (or the main host) is zsp 0.145 SDSS J120446.55+150122.7, in the center; but maybe one of its neighbors is also a host?
If double lobes originate as back-to-back jets from an AGN, the intergalactic environment clearly played a big role in shaping how the lobes came to look like this.
Maybe some of the morphology is due to radio passing through the ISM (interstellar medium) of neighboring/foreground galaxies?
