Note that the ailerons in the photo above are both pointing in the same direction and that the foreplane "rudder" i.e. elevator appears to be absent. Possible combined elevator and aileron- elevons
Re the lower glider pic on post 262...

I think that they are indeed 'elevons' for both pitch and roll control.
This glider was built by R.E.P !
