Oops. Should have added a "\n" after the "%p" to make it more readable.
Anyway, "-perm +o+w" is supposed to select all files that have the
world-writable bit set. In your case find reports the above files as
having that bit set, although this is contradicted by the output from ls.
One of the 2 programs is obviously wrong.

Please try

find -type f -perm +002 -printf "%p\n"
find -type f -perm -002 -printf "%p\n"
find -type f -perm -o+w -printf "%p\n"

and report the results.
