My TJM came with some mixed metric and standard hardware as well which was kind of frustrating, but it did fit well. It had slotted holes so you could get the body gap right.
I'm definitely no pro-welder but those welds don't really look that terrible to me . At that price I don't think you can expect to have robot quality welds like what I've seen on Dissent stuff. It does look like whoever they hired to do it definitely missed some joints. I wouldn't imagine those joints not being fully welded out would affect the strength too much in that location but I'm a youtube welder at best. Maybe they were worried about distortion.
Being 1/32 off on the plate thickness wouldn't be a big deal to me, but 1/16 off seems like too much.
