Default Depth of field - two of them?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ctqungbvve...field.jpg?dl=0
This is a snapshot of Startrek The Next Generation, Season 6, Episode 26.
It appears to have two planes of focus, one centred on the right eye of the man in the foreground, and one on the right side of the chest of the man in the background. Two cameras with superimposing? Or some effect put in afterwards?

Why is the left hand side of the body of the man in the background so
out of focus?

Going by the still and not seeing the video I would assume the Borg is a
chromakeyed background since the lighting is quite different on them.

Are you sure? What makes you say the lighting is different?

Data more directly lighted mainly from the left, Borg diffused slightly
biased from the right.
Like I said this is just from the still. I don't know if the video would show
them interacting in a way that showed they were being filmed at the same
time.

Good point, I hadn't noticed that. But there are several lights in the room.

They were interacting. Whether they were filmed simultaneously I can't tell.
