Not only do they look like it, they are, in fact, bent down a bit. I saw

But that's not really due to the flaps. The clever Schleicher mixer
design raises the ailerons as the flaps move to landing. ASH-25s show
it best of all.

That's why longer span Schleicher gliders are significantly easier to
manoeuvre on final than some other contemporary designs.
