    The IR source of this radio emission appears to be a blend of 2 QSO objects

    SDSS J155043.92+112046.6

    SDSS J155043.59+112047.4

    One of them SDSS J155043.92+112046.6 has a redshift of 1.905 IMHO the largest one I have seen so far

    Known source, I quess but I just decided to highlight it

    Indeed, appears to be a known case of gravitational lensing

    I just left a comment somewhere that this was "cute idea." My apologies, if that is an already confirmed lens -- a lot more than cute!
