Should journal's deposit only final published version of paper to repository/database?

Question Description: 

Three months ago my paper was accepted in a reputed mathematics journal. The editor then asked me to send the .tex file of the paper in LATEX as per their journal's style and I sent the same. After that I was waiting for galley proofs and then reprint of my paper; but I received none. One day when I visited journals website, I found my paper posted there in the current issue and three days were left for its online publication as per the date of publication mentioned on the paper. I downloaded my paper and read it carefully. I realised that there were some errors made by them while typesetting the paper. Even in the date of publication the wrong previous year was mentioned. As per the policy of journal I had right to make correction before publication. I immediately contacted the editor about this issue. He then corrected my paper and replaced old one by new final version on their website. But they already had deposited previous version of my paper to open academic journals index(oaji.net). I requested them to replace that paper by new one in oaji.net also. Because when I search my paper on google it displays that previous version deposited in oaji.net only. Now I have been contacting the editor, but they are not replying me about this issue. Is it possible for journal to replace that previous version of paper by new final version in oaji.net? Is it my right? should I contact the editor one more time? Or is it normal? Please suggest me.
