I've reviewed the pics you posted and agree that the A330 THS has more camber on the underside. It follows that with an AoA of close to 0 degrees that a tail down moment is applied and least amount of drag is caused before NU trim is necessary.

Thanks to all those who have posted their comments, and I'll now redraw the THS with bottom camber.
