Well, it's a little hard to tell from that one, but it certainly looks to me as though the E string is the one closest to his bow arm, which is what I said all along. No awquard way at all, just the other way around, and exactly the same as if a left handed person was playing a normal violin the normal way around. Like me.

That's what it looks like to me also, and I must say I can't imagine anything else!

Part of the question here (and I do not know the answer) is whether what we call the "bass bar" does, in fact, need to be under the lowest string, or whether it is simply a rib or bracing against the tension of ALL the strings, which we call a "bass bar" simply because it normally IS under the lowest string? (Did that make any sense?!)
