Yes, those are both due to the elliptical galaxy I mentioned, which is about halfway between the two arcs. Many of the other arcs also seem to be from lensing produced by this galaxy although there is a distorted spiral galaxy near to another elliptical just up from those arcs.

One aspect of this is that the galaxies that are seen in the arcs are *much* farther away than the elliptical galaxy.
