I agree this doesnt seen correct. Are you sure the 2 programs are using the same otrthogonalisation convention?

Have you tried to run the LOcked rotation in MOLREP?

There are 2 possiblites to search for:
2fold along a or 2-fold along c*

I have a difficult problem of molecular replacement. The space group is C2 and there are several molecules in the asymmetric unit. I have run molrep, looking for the self-rotation and a very strong NCS 2-fold axis appears in the direction of a and c* (15 sigma compared to 22 sigma for the origin peak). I have run phaser, trying to locate two molecules. When I load the pdb file given by phaser in Coot, I can observe a 2-fold axis in some orientation which does not at all correspond to the expected direction. I have tried to run rotmat with the two rotations given by phaser and introducing as target the self-rotation given by molrep:

#!/bin/csh -fe
rotmat << eof
CRYSTAL number 1 cell 127.246 83.226 98.349 90. 100.705 90. orth 1 symm 5
INPUT CCP4 ALPHA 20 50 353
CRYSTAL number 2 cell 127.246 83.226 98.349 90. 100.705 90. orth 1 symm 5
INPUT CCP4 ALPHA 214 142 298
TARGET CCP4 OMEGA 180 0 180
OUTPUT CCP4 OMEGA
eof

Surprisingly, it gives a hit for this target, but this hit does not exist in the visual examination with coot. What is wrong ?
