Gravitational lensing?

Is this an example of gravitational lensing? Otherwise it's a very strange shape for a galaxy.

It looks like a slightly twisted edge-on galaxy #edgeon. But sorry, no lensing occurring. For more images see

Perhaps there are two separate edgeons in a row? They have slightly different redshifts: z=0.045 and z=0.046.
