It seems that these lenses got disassembled but were put back in a wrong way, the print on the aperture ring doesn't match the actual lens opening. Can this be fixed?

They are in perfect alignment! You are looking at them in the uncoupled state. When they are mounted on the body, the lock ring puts them in the correct position.
 
Like mentioned above, when the lens is mounted on the body, at app ring will be in the correct place. try it and let us know
 
It should behave the same as for other lens, i.e. it should not go freely between the stops.
