Looks exactly like DR to me. It's a combined rolling:yawing motion, but depending upon the characteristics of an individual aircraft type can be predominantly in roll, predominantly in yaw, or a balanced mix of the two.

I remember the VC10 periscope, spent much time looking through it once whilst trying to deal with the problem of a fluttering beavertail between two engines on one side.
