Cant be 100 % sure but that does not look like a Discus 2a wing tip.

There are 3 generations of wingtips on the Discus 2
-no winglets (upturned wingtips)
-Masak winglets
-Maughmer winglets
Those look like the Maughmer winglets.

Hard to see what speed they were doing or know what ballast level they were each using.
Flying a fully loaded LS8 against a fully loaded Arcus recently at Hobbs at 95-100kn I was definitely outperformed.
Sebastians D2a is 'slightly' better than a LS8 above 95kn, both full. (ask me how I know).
Nice to see a Std ship doing well but without more real information its hard to draw a hard conclusion relative to the Arcus.
