  It is hard to know if they are merging or not.

  Maybe this helps as well: if it looks as if the galaxies are interacting (disturbances, distortions),they are probably merging. In this case I'd say that both the galaxies are heavily distorted, so merger is definitely a possibility. But in the end it is your call.
