The arcs look to be the same colour and texture as the edge-on galaxy. Do you think they might be satellite galaxies?

My hunch would be that they are satellites. The separation is probably too large for a spiral galaxy. Also the galaxy looks big - implying that it is nearby - nearby galaxies are very rarely lenses.
