    I don't think they can be - they are clearly extended objects (not quasar or stars), but they aren't curved into arcs, which is what you get from strong lensing of an extended source. Also the right one is more yellow and the left one is more orange - lensing doesn't change the color of the background source.

    Sorry 😦

    Edited: Because I can't tell the difference between left and right.
