Just looks slightly aberrant to me. Interestingly(?), the Acraea & Telchinia it mimics are often slightly asymmetric.

See the HW spots on this T. perenna perenna:

A note: The genus in this thread's title should be spelled Pseudacraea.

Thank you for pointing that out. I have corrected the spelling of the thread subject.
