The Porsche 959 wing may be similar, notice the angle of the top plane and inner plane.

I've always assumed that there was no attached flow on the back window, and that the wing actually served to fill out the aero-template similar to a Bonneville style spoiler.

This would explain the top side of the wing angle which if a normal wing the angle of attack is that of lift, not down force.

An oddity, when a wing isn't a wing but a plane for re-pressurization or semi-attachment at trailing edge.
