Yes, the exact date depends on which of the Landsat-8 images you are
looking at. It was likely taken between 2013-12-24 and 2014-03-14.

See: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2014-March/004885.html

(And, of course, for Bing you can use Info in the right-mouse-button
menu in JOSM to see the date).

Best wishes,
