Yes they are effectively the same in terms of performance as a regular rad with the end ports on a single side. Sounds like a packing error though so sending Alphacool a message isn't a bad idea.

They will do the same job, if there is an issue, ask for a refund.

Dazmode did a good comparison between the two, it's marginal so not very much if any difference:
