   Possible explanation.  One might note that a Mira star of this brightness
would have been easily recorded in IRAS PSC, but that the IRAS source mentioned
looks more closely associated with the redder (on USNO) star.  Probably a
few immediate multicolor snapshots (or even an unfiltered CCD image) would
solve the problem.
