Hello, could someone point out to me

1) Ironclad evidence of correlated light curves - and I mean a correlation that is beyond doubt - among lensed quasars

2) Morphological correspondence - e.g. corresponding jets - in images of lensed quasars.

I can find sketchy cases which may be correlated, but I would like to see direct and incontrovertible evidence of both light curve correlation that leaves no doubt, and mirror image morphology of the images.

Thanks in advance!

PS - just because two quasars have jets does not mean much, as jets may be characteristic of many if not all quasars. A real case of interest would be clearly mirror-imaged isophotes of the two images.
