I'm not sure about perspective, but could that outer cloud actually be also the stream of greedily siphoned material heading towards our galaxy, but head on, and coz its closer, seems larger?

I'd lke to think that halo is the faintly imaged remnant of the LMC's spiral arms being, as you've said, devoured!!!
