[ESMA 70-1861941480-56 MiFIR data reporting Q&A, Q&A 24.3]

Yes, where a firm or investment firm, Firm A, instructs an investment firm, Firm B, to make a simultaneous buy and sell for its clients but Firm A has not complied with the conditions for transmission under article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/590. If Firm B executes these transactions outside a trading venue then it should report the ISO 17442 LEI of Firm A in the buyer and seller fields in its transaction reports.
