Lensed Galaxies with no apparent lens?

The mirror-doubling of this arrangement makes me wonder if there is an invisible heavy object between the two pairs, splitting their light around it, resulting in the doubled image. Maybe a dark matter lens?

See my comment to the left !
Sorry, but there is no gravitational lens in this image . Two (probably) interacting galaxies and two foreground stars !
Just a chance alignment.
Hope this helps and happy hunting !
