Just bought MSI R5770 and card looks different than expected

I bought this as an open Box from Fry's today.
When I opened it up, the card looks completely different than the pictures I've seen online.
The label on the back says it is a R5770 PMD1G and the serial number on the label matches the one on the box.  But the fan/heatsink combination is completely different.  The board layout (capacitors, etc) seems to be different as well
I'm especially concerned by the small size of the fan compared to what I was expecting.
Before I install it, I wanted to make sure I actually have the correct card that I paid for.  Here is a link to a pic.

She slapped a new reduced price sticker on it and assured me that they'd test it to make sure it worked.  I'm willing to bet that if I go back there in a few days, that it will be back on the shelves and still have the wrong card in the box.
I wouldn't expect anything less from them.  It was probably back on the shelf 15 minutes after you walked out.  If its worth anything, I don't buy anything open box.  The small savings isn't worth the hassle.
