Just bought grain for the first time, the Pale 2 row looked about what I thought it'd look like, but the pound of Roasted Barley and the Pound of Choc Malt (I know, it's gonna be DAAARK) are more like a Ground than a Crush, is this right?

They were ground in seperate Grinders, which I assumed was to keep the dark malts away from people's lagers, but the grinder was set a lot tighter, is this correct?
 
Should I return it and have them change the the crusher setting?

or is this correct?
 
It's fine. Typically the dark malts are "crispier" and will crush finer than your pale. I assume you are doing an all-grain mash and 2# of fine crush won't clog you mash tun if mixed well with your pale.
