This seems like a locale problem on your machine or your Linux disto. On Windows the top is Long "05 March 2018" and the bottom Short "05/03/2018". I think we get this from the OS.

Richard, how does your Linux look like?

Here on Linux Mint it's correct.

I can confirm that the issue has been fixed in Thunderbird 68.4.1 on Debian 10. Closing as 'invalid'.
