Both metal seals are bent. They were probably folded in the original packaging and bent together in such a way that it looks as if they were made that way. Just note that they must be flat to seal. I gently tapped directly on the anvil and covered all the metal surfaces with shims as it's a pretty easy job when it's leaking. Those who are less mechanically inclined may wish to purchase new gaskets as they are not expensive. So far the pump itself is fine. The design of the pump itself looks identical to the OEM.
