No, sorry. This is a military date/time group (DTG) as used in military messages.

"FROM 111302Z - 111323Z SEP 09" = "13:02 UTC - 13:23 UTC, SEP 11th, 2009".

 

The 09 is the year, not the day.

DDHHMMZ OOO YY = DD-Day, HH-Hour, MM-Minute, Z-Zulu Time (UTC), OOO-Month, YY-Year

I gave another look and the NANUs do indeed use DTG and not UTC, unless there are 31 hours in a day or you are using this clock:
