Most importantly look at the timestamps of the source files and look
at the current system time.

After a normal copy the time will be the current time.  But if cp is
given the option to preserve the original file attributes then the
time will be that of the source file.

The preserve option doesn't explain the UTC vs local time difference, but the OP could use synaptic to take a look at optional dependencies and to search for all kinds of packages that are even not suggested or recommended by the dependencies. Searching for Nautilus by synaptic and comparing installed packages from the Ubuntu and Debian install might help.

Some research about Exif vs file timestamps might also lead to a solution.

I don't know what to do, but IMO the Exif thing seems to be the culprit.
