I would return it. If there's rust on the baseplate it's reasonable to wonder if there's rust inside as well.
 
I have buy new from aap and I did make sure is no oil inside plates and has metal screen backing old style.here picture
It does look like it was mounted on something by your initial pics of the gasket end. Gasket looks very much used. Maybe for some reason it was mounted on and removed before they ran the vehicle? Then they returned it?
