Uh, these differences are coming from one of your systems running on
US/NonEuropean date style and the other running with the Europena style
per your "-o -e" flags above. The Postgres date/time output routines do
not have system-specific formatting differences, other than the
differences lower down between the two main flavors of Unix libc
support.
Example follows. Talk to you soon.

postgres=> set DateStyle = 'Postgres,NonEuropean';
SET VARIABLE
postgres=> select 'now'::datetime;
