  This is a pretty good effort, but it doesn't look quite right to me - the images are in peculiar places. What's going on in this model, @psaha? This system looks more like a spiral to me, I think.

  I tried a modification of the model by @JasonJason and got this result. It has a weird checkerboard mass distribution and the arrival-time contours are jagged, both of these are signs of a bad model, even though the synthetic image is not terrible. So my vote would be uncertain, likely not a lens.

  That said, trying out models is exactly the right strategy.
