distances would be useful

    If we knew the distance between these objects...it might help.
    They look very similar and close to each other.

    Here you can be reasonably sure that they are interacting.
    I'd go for merger.

    This is old data from 3 years ago, from Hubble telescope, with the CANDLES project.
