I noticed that the outboard ailerons appeared to both be deflected negative
This has been used before. The Super VC10 had switchable 'Aileron Upset' at high weights to reduce wing loading. One of the few things that I remember about the VC10 was that it had to be switched off when climbing through FL240.
