This relates to the lack of proper RTC on SBCs. The time is not set on boot until NTP kicks in, so both versions reconstruct timestamp, but at different times, so the time is accurate both ways, but accurate at the moment the log was sent, or the moment log was retrieved.

That makes sense. I have a turningpi board so thought the bmc would facilitate the right time. I do after boot and assuming ntp that log entries days later still coming in with 1970.

I don't know any specific information, if it does have RTC, then the driver might be missing in the kernel.
