Duplicate WSDL from third party WSDL

I was given a WSDL from a third party. Using the wsdl tool (Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt) I generated the Data Contract classes:

wsdl /language:CS /serverInterface wsdl_location

Now I have the "skeleton interface" of my web service. I deployed to my QA environment, but the WSDL I get from this newly created web service is quite different from the third party WSDL, example:

Original WSDL:

<wsdl:operation name="syncProduct">
      <wsdl:input message="tns:syncProductRequest" name="syncProductRequest"/>
      <wsdl:output message="tns:syncProductResponse" name="syncProductResponse"/>
      <wsdl:fault message="tns:syncProductError" name="syncProductError" />
</wsdl:operation>

Regenerated WSDL:

<wsdl:operation name="syncProduct">
      <wsdl:input wsaw:Action="http://tempuri.org/IeMenuWebService/syncProduct" message="tns:IeMenuWebService_syncProduct_InputMessage" />
      <wsdl:output wsaw:Action="http://tempuri.org/IeMenuWebService/syncProductResponse" message="tns:IeMenuWebService_syncProduct_OutputMessage" />
</wsdl:operation>

Is there a process to get a WSDL similar to the original one?

What are the namespaces in the 3rd party WSDL?

The tool provided in the link was very helpful. I thought that .Net would generate automatically the same WSDL provided by the third party, but it looks like you have to upload it manually.
