Those rings look normal to me. I've never seen a ring that laid flat when it was demounted.
Also, I believe you can swap rings and rims. The only thing to watch for is that there is a small gap (1/8" to 1/4") in the ring when the tire is mounted and inflated. If the ring ends touch it could be interfering with the ring fully seating on the rim.
Play safe with these rims and you will have many trouble free miles on them.
