I'm sorry I do not see any lensing in that galaxy - It is a lovely spiral 😃
I am interested to know why you feel it could be a double lens?

I switched to the blue screen and had the impression, there are 2 concentric rings and not spiral arms

Oh okay 😃 Depending on the angle at which we view the galaxy, the spiral arms can present themselves in different ways - they can even wrap themselves around the galaxy to give it the appearance of a ring galaxy.
When I have a spare moment, I will see if I can find some nice examples of similar spirals from galaxyzoo 😃
