Combos Confined to R/L Center

I hope posting moves above, starting with 1...b5+) is not prohibited, but I'm having trouble finding my notes on previous puzzles I've already completed. 🫤

There might be more than 2 endings, Qb4# & Qd4#.
I find it curious that:
• Knights @ f4 & h8 remain in all cases,
• Pawn @ e5 likewise remains.
• White Queen @ f3 likewise remains.

This Combination is localized in the Right Center of the board (files a,b,c,d, ranks 3,4,5,6), and could be categorized as "COMBINATIONS CONFINED TO RIGHT CENTER."
OTOH, that could also mean,
"COMBINATIONS CONFINED TO LEFT CENTER!"
This might belong in the Subject field, above:

"Combinations Confined to R/L Center"
• Okay, I put it in.

Could you please post the opening this position came from?
Or if anyone else knows ( kingdawar • charleshIggie • etc) that would be great! 😁

I know less and less about openings but my guess would be the Traxler.

I just post the tactical exercises as they come to me on Gameknot. I don't know what "traxler" or other things connected to this means, if anything. Still, I found this exercise WORTH posting for you all!
