Ahh, it does look in the photos like they're the wrong way round....
Yeah, it's very common for an engine to seize due to a component overheating (obviously metal expands when hot...) then when cooled down, it'll turn freely again... Though usually if you take off the caps, you should see metal smeared on the bearing surfaces - mostly the camshaft, since the aluminium cap is softer than the hardened steel camshaft.
