    I'd say overlap. I'm not seeing too much gravitational disturbances.

    It cannot be both a merger and an overlap.
    If you say merger, they are interacting and have to be close together.
    If you say overlap, they are just that : overlapping. Meaning, they are very far apart and only appear to be close (line of sight).
