Perhaps this info will help.

I tried to reproduce the incorrect date and the rz problem on my laptop 
using MTEZ, as well as Crosstalk.

Original files on MV host.

As received by MTEZ on laptop
STTYD    DAT       104 10-30-93   6:28p
STTY     DAT       132 10-30-93   5:19p
MBOX     OUT       107 10-31-93  12:58a

As received by Crosstalk on laptop
STTYD    DAT       100 10-31-93   6:28p
STTY     DAT       126 10-31-93   5:19p
MBOX     OUT       101 11-00-93  12:58a

I following is as received on MV from my desktop using Crosstalk
-rw-r-----  1 kaikow  kaikow  302 Oct 29 17:16 contura.dat

The date and time of contura.dat on my desktop is actually 30 Oct 21:16.

I found MTEZ cumbersome to use with ZMODEM on my laptop, so I don't know 
if the test of the rz problem was actually replicated. In any case, it 
did not occur using MTEZ on the laptop, while it did occur using 
Crosstalk on the laptop.
