Just checked all four systems, both Linux systems are Gentoo based with a timezone of 'Europe/London', used date +'%:z %Z' which returned +01:00 BST for both.
XP VM has time zone of '(GMT) Casablanca' with DST ticked and Windows10 is '(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London' with DST ticked. All systems synced to a NTP clock. So there appears to be a discrepancy between Linux and windows stored date-times unless I am confused ?
