It does look like the port side stabilizer and elevator are misshapen but it may just be some kind of an optical illusion.
Another explanation is that when the elevator is in full-up position, the mass balance horns protrude from the shape quite prominently. The starboard side seems to look similar.

In that situation, maximum pull would be a natural, if not optimal, pilot action.
