They are identical, see below.

: %b the first three characters of %B.
: %B one of "January", "February", ... , "December".
: %c equivalent to "%A %B %d %T %Y".

Mine says "%a %b %e %T %Y".

: %p one of "am" or "pm".

"AM" or "PM"

: %r equivalent to "%I:%M:%S %p".
: %x equivalent to "%A %B %d %Y".

"%m/%d/%y"

: %X equivalent to %T.
: %Z implementation-defined.

: The POSIX 2003 strftime() defaults are:

: %a The first three characters of %A .
: %A One of Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday.
: %b The first three characters of %B .
: %B One of January, February, ..., December.
: %c Equivalent to %a %b %e %T %Y.
: %p One of AM or PM.
: %r Equivalent to %I:%M:%S %p.
: %x Equivalent to %m/%d/%y.
: %X Equivalent to %T.
: %Z Implementation-defined.

I. e. the same as POSIX.


Right,
