Looks fairly normal, possibly when installed they pushed the small diameter axle end in a little to far before clamped. Nothing is swelled up.

To me, that looks strange and I would keep an eye on it before it gets torn
The larger clamp is not fully crushed down so it's a replacement boot

Doesn't look good ! Looks inflated even. I would be thinking of replacing that before it splits and messes up your drive shaft . I see it has a newish looking bar code on the shaft . Have the shafts been replaced recently ? Check what grease was used for the joint.
