I need help with this awning please!

I bought this old Bradcot Portico a couple of years ago just to use on a single, solo trip to Scotland. Luckily it was cheap & local but I only tried it out when I got up there. I’d assembled the frame up against the garage which seemed ok, but when I tried to fit it, it became very confusing.
The bead starts at one end but doesn’t go all he way to the other end & theres only one pad for one of the upright poles to sit against the caravan.
At first I thought it was a porch awning & had been given the wrong poles (which is what I’m still thinking) but as you can see, there’s a door at each end.
It looks like it would fit a van with a door at the rear, like our old Bailey Pegasus 2 berth but it won’t fit our 4 berth van with the door nearer the front unless you came out of the van then turned left & went into the awning!
(See what I mean about being confused?) 😂
Hope the photos are some help.
Anyway, it’s been in the garage for 2 years so if I can get my money back (£50) I’ll be happy. I just need to know what to advertise it as.
Thanks for reading & hope someone can shed some light.

At one time, it was fashionable to create a porch out of a small awning - at one end of the awning rail the fabric bead is in the awning channel all the way down to caravan floor level but the other end drops down vertically part-way along the caravan and needs one pole/pad to seal the fabric to the caravan side.

That’s what it looks like. Do you think the pole setup looks right? I’m not sure.
