John, I think you have it correct. The second block has a timestamp.
I wrote a program to read the first record of the PLPA and had to change it to read the second page (see below) to report on the creation date/time of the PLPA. Used it to verify a CLPA really got done at IPL time. The first block data is correct. It was introduced recently (5 years?) to prevent simultaneous sharing of page datasets by different lpars. We did that for a week - lots of unexplained outages till we noticed.
