Mismatched brake rotors

The trouble with ordering auto parts on-line is that you never know what you’ll get, see the photo below.  These are the same part number (my mistake, 2-‘L’s instead of 1-‘L’ and 1-‘R’) on the same order.  2 very different parts.  This was ordered through RockAuto.com.  10 days and counting trying to resolve this.  Neither part exactly matches PowerSlot’s advertised parts.  The left one is machined correctly for the slots, but the surface doesn’t seem to have the proper finish, nor is it painted like I would expect.  The right one has the proper surface finish and paint, but the slots were cut very differently.  I should have saved my money and had the original rotors refinished.
