Odd ring/jet/tail

I'm having a hard time identifying what I'm seeing here. It looks mostly like a featureless elliptical with a ring on the bottom side and something else on the top side.

Hi adamland and welcome to the Zoo !
The thing in the centre is the bulky bar of this disturbed spiral galaxy.
Happy hunting ! 😄

So the bright core plus slightly less bright ellipse area is just the core of a spiral that has been disrupted, and the faint lower half ring and upper wisp are the disturbed remnants?
