  can be seen in the IR picture when the contour-mode is switched on

  hmm, that could be an x-shaped source - its radio structure can be shaped precession of the jet ejection axis (accompanying re-started radio galaxy scenario) or black hole's spin change (which can be associated with galaxy merger). there are also some other possible explanations but I'd say these probably are two main ones. anyway, there are more pronounced examples than this one, for instance this: http://radiotalk.galaxyzoo.org/#/subjects/ARG0002d1i
