You example shows only dates where it is quite obvious what date format
is used. Let me see...

-rwx------ 1 amp amp 891837 2010-05-03 22:55 03052010065.jpg
-rwx------ 1 amp amp 733361 2010-05-03 22:55 03052010066.jpg

Can you tell if these files were created 5th march or 3rd may? How (I'd
really like to know)?


That's the point... Which is why YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm is the only rational format.

Well, except for the ISO variation YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm, good for when you want
to avoid spaces (e.g., in filenames).  :-)
