I would label this as a merger, though perhaps it would be more accurately called a "ripping each other to shreds" phenomena.

Welcome to Galaxy Zoo, DNiergarth!
It looks pretty cool in SDSS too:
Two merging galaxies, or three? Within the central (IR image) mess, what appears to be two nuclei may be a nucleus and a dust-choked region of intense star-formation. What do you think?
Happy hunting! 😃
