Straight from NASA. There's two versions - one is too stretched.

I would say that image is very close to the chute deployment - it doesn't - to my eyes - look 100% fully deployed.

At high speed, would the chute have a different shape than at lower speed? (Don't know, just asking)

Chutes are subject to partial opening ("squidding") in some speed regimes. I'm wondering if this may be some evidence of that.
