One would think that if the aircraft had been rolling to the right, regardless of the reason, that the pilot would instinctively be applying opposite aileron input which may not be helpful in a stalled condition.
That being said, the DH.82 ailerons are a bit unique in that full aileron deflection is achieved not at full control stick deflection to the left or right but at perhaps 75 percent deflection after which the downgoing aileron returns almost to neutral although the upgoing aileron continues deflecting upward at an increasing ratio at the same time which is quite substantial(what were newly patented differential ailerons). That being said, in my experience, when doing a control check, I could only achieve about 75 percent stick deflection before the stick was blocked by my legs. All of which conveniently meant that max possible stick deflection gave max downward aileron deflection.
In the picture, I don't see up elevator and see prepaid some aileron input.
