Yes the overlap is normal. The interior and exterior seams overlap. The overlap provides joint strength, and in the case of the exterior shell it provides a faying surface for sealing purposes. I suppose you could trim the reveal back on the interior skins and make the seam flush, but that would be a lot of work and would probably require skin removal to do it effectively. I've seen some j-molding trims that are designed to fit along the edges of seams similar to those in AS units, but I think they make the seam more obcious (IMHO).

The best way to hide old rivet holes (that I know of) is to fill them with a rivet.
