The Q format is not does not give the date of a vital event; it gives the group identification of a record. Properly, it should be used as a source, not a date. Since it gives the time period the event was recorded, the best date approximation is "about the first month of the Q period". All Q periods will include events preceding the Quarter, and in the preceding year for the Mar quarter, and will miss events close to the Quarter end, again resulting in a year error for the Dec Quarter. "abt. month year" is the closest approximation for an estimated date and indicates that it is estimated.
