Is this a merger or overlap?

Some distortion. I'd go for merger. Beautiful image !

Love the side view of the bottom galaxy, disc obstructing the center. I wonder how close they actually are.

Actually, the redshift is quite similar 😃 0.020 for the top galaxy and 0.019 for the central galaxy

@mrgiezen - I just realised you were talking about the 'dust lane' - yes, it is more visible in the lower one 😃
