As far as I understand "Open Interest" is the total amount of contracts that are held by clients
I have no idea what "Open Trading" or "Cont(r)act Open Older" are, nor do I know where you have seen these.

I only have a little knowledge about options.
It certainly does seem strange to be quoting option prices after they have expired.
I can only think that it is delayed data and will probably be updated when the markets open on Monday.
