I agree. If the shutter is moving left to right, the propeller has to be spinning clockwise (from our POV). Because you can see the root of the propeller in the top but not the bottom, the smallest relative velocity between the shutter and propeller must occur there - so they're moving in the same direction at the top and the opposite direction at the bottom.
