    This one looks like the spiral arms make a 3d "coil" shape, if we were to look from aside. The upper arm is curving out of the picture, towards us (above the plane of the disk determined by the inner circle), and the lower arm into the plane of picture (below inner circle).....

    Yes, quite a tangle of spiral arms.
