"Does the NFT contain that code or has someone cocked up?"

As far as I'm aware the NFT is just an entry in a blockchain that is taken to imply ownership of the asset and probably contains a link pointing to where it resides on the web. The actual files aren't anywhere in the blockchain, so it's probably the auctioneer who's messed up when posting them on the web.
