   I think so too. Also from the expansion velocity (approximately
2000 km/s), this object is not thought to be very fast (t2 < 10 d).
The spectra are similar to pre-maximum stage one (e.g., the Fe II
phase of T Pyx during pre-maximum; Imamura & Tanabe, 2012, PASJ,
64, L9; http://ads.nao.ac.jp/abs/2012PASJ...64L...9I).
