Look carefully at the dates. One set appears to be 9 1/2 hours ahead
of the other set. Your timezone is 9 1/2 hours ahead of GMT (according
to your mail headers). So some systems are logging in local time and
others are logging in GMT. mystery solved (we don't control which
timestamps are used by the various applications).
Here's an example from our server (we're 5 hours behind GMT)
Mar 25 04:28:36 allspice PAM_unix[29945]: (sshd) session closed for user XXXX
Mar 25 09:29:27 allspice named[1197]: sysquery: XXXXXX
