The same colour as the things one sees in jars - Tradução em português

"It may seem odd to you, but it was two days before I could find out more about the Morlocks. I felt a strange fear of those pale bodies. They were just the same colour as the things one sees in jars in a museum and they were horribly cold when you touched them."

"Eles eram exatamente da mesma cor que aquelas vistas em jarros de um museu." (minha tradução)

Por que usaram sees e não seen? Minha sugestão está incorreta?
