That's backward.  WE2ASS/NY6DX *should be* WE2ASS's station operated
by NY6DX outside the frequencies permitted to WE2ASS.  WE2ASS (the
licensee) would not be permitted to make QSOs with stations in
countries with which the US does not have a third party agreement on
frequencies outside those permitted by his license - even if NY6DX was
present as a control operator - as those QSOs are by definition, third
party communications (any communication not between the two licensed
control operators).

If WE2ASS was indeed the operator, the entry should be examined
carefully and disqualified if any prohibited third party communication
is discovered.  If the entry is single operator by NY6DX it's probably
OK (except for the "unstable call").

73,
