Interesting note there James, maybe this was a three engine ferry flight with quite some directional control difficulties. This would account for full left rudder and nose wheel hard left as well, if the yaw on the t/o roll had been significant, and drew them closer and a bit quick to the side of the runway, then certainly full left rudder and if the speed is still low enough, a good handfull of tiller, which it looks to be have been the case here. Pure guessing here, but intrigued about this.

Thinking again though, if it was a three engine ferry flight, I certain would have thought they would have opted for a back track and full length departure.
