Not formally perhaps, but it does clearly define the timestamps in the
packet:

Originate Timestamp: This is the local time at which the request
 departed the client host for the service host, in 64-bit timestamp
 format.
Receive Timestamp: This is the local time at which the request arrived
 at the service host, in 64-bit timestamp format.
Transmit Timestamp: This is the local time at which the reply departed
 the service host for the client host, in 64-bit timestamp format.

Mapping this description to figure 14 shouldn't be insurmountable...
Mapping to the/some software is clearly outside the scope of any RFC.
