Nobleman's Armor (Caudecus Mannor) texture is not as shown by vendor (bugged?)

Someone will say it’s battle-worn armor, but mostly all other armors in game is normal. Also this armor set was smooth and shiny in Beta. Although it still looks decent all the dents and dings looks awkward and i would like to see it brought much closer to the vendor look.

I know this is slightly related to Armor textures topic, but I dont know if this is an error or this is how it is actually supposed to look, that’s why im posting on a separate topic because i would like an official answer (Hopefully) .
So basically ive been working really hard for my Nobleman’s armor, and im nearly about to get all of it. Ever since i started buying the parts i realized the texture of the armor i was getting did not match the texture on the armor the vendor is wearing.
In fact I dare say that the one the vendor wears looks better. The one US players get is all worn out and with cracks, like battle worn, but it ends up being a bit over the top and annoying to the point that depending on what colour tint you use it can look really bad! .
Some of the main differences are:
a. The one we get has rusty patches all over, specially on the leg guards.
b. The one we get presents cracks on the shoulder pads
c. The one we get has bumps all over the 2 front plates of the helmet
d. The one we get has bad pixelated textures on the cloth that hangs from the front and the back.
I honestly believe the artistic choice of making the armor the players get be all rusty, worn and cracked wasn’t the best one, if this was done intentionally. I would like to know if this is how its supposed to look or not, and if so i would recommend changing it for the one the vendor has since I believe it looks better and is what we are given as reference. After all the work ive done for my armor i really want to have one in mint condition, looking bright as new!
I’ll attach a comparison picture.
