Hmmm... maybe I'm not seeing the same thing you are, but most of the problems I
see with the bricks are fingerprints and smudges, probably from overzealous
handling by a fan. :-)

Looks like a shipping box to me -- the whole thing was probably sent by post,
as-is. Unfold the top, and presto...
As for the "LEGO Systems Inc.", this is the same name they've used for other
mailings (just received something from them the other day with this name, if I
could find the envelope, I'd scan it.)
