LOL, I'm kinda hoping this is one of those production line mistakes that go my way!
From my experience with Capricorn, I would say that you are lucky that you got what you got.
It seems that they have access to a large pile of parts from or at Sirio and that the throw together whatever is on laying around on the bench and sell it as whatever is needed.
I won't go into details, but without my old buddy Uriah, I would have thrown a considerable amount of money out the window.
Only him getting involved, made them even respond to e-mails.
Strange business ethics there.
