My semi-informed opinion, the gap in the curtains was traveling from right to left on the image. The blades were turning "image clockwise", so the shutter opening first encountered the lower blade when it was image-right, and moved in the same direction. By the time the blade had lined up in the vertical direction, the opening zipped across it in the opposite direction to its motion, lined up with it, giving a quick exposure to all of the blade at once.
