  This is classified as a G-triple. the red shift for the right hand then moving left is z 0.1608, z0.0370, z0.1607. this would say if there is a merger going on it would be between the large spiral on the right and the smaller white spiral on the left. I think it was originally classed a G-triple in 1961 then reduced to a G-pair in 1972.As far as I can tell by the abstracts in NED.
  hope this helps
