Discrepency between I-20 Opt End Data and EAD Expiration

In my I-20, OPT was requested from 06/05/2006 - 06/05/2007. I did not receive my EAD card on time so I got an interim card in 06/13/2006 which says the card is valid from 06/05/2006 - 02/03/2007/

2 months or so after that I received my EAD card where it says my card is valid from 09/14/2006 till 07/25/2007.

So my question do I have OPT status until 06/05/2007 (according to my I-20) or am I authorized to work until 07/25/2007 according to my EAD card expiration date.
 
what's the original expiration date on your I-20 (not including the OPT extension on page 3)?

If 09/14/2006 falls within 60 days of your I-20 expiration date, I wouldn't worry about it. If it falls after, I'd definitely talk to somebody at your International center, and keep all the docs requesting that your OPT start date be 06/05/2006.
