That's one strange galaxy, Ken.
This galaxy, overall, seems asymmetric and disturbed, and not to be in a settled state. (the overall asymmetry is far in excess of what is normal for mildly disturbed galaxies)
I can't recall seeing anything like this morphology, though I am familiar with the morphologies of a large fraction of the NGC/IC galaxies.
I'll have to "cogitate" about this one, and also consult the literature.
