Elliptical with missing regions

"Region-1":(30x30@134,148)"Region-2":(30x30@255,246)
This galaxy has two bright, fan-shaped regions beyond the major-axis of the central oval but nothing is seen beyond its minor axis

It could be disturbed but what would result in such a symmetric disturbance?
Also, this effect is not seen in the image shown in the main SkyServer page for this object.

However, the image shown in the Navigate tool shows fan-shaped extensions.
