  The 'le' utility, posted to the net some time ago, has an option -f
which causes dates to be output YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM for sorting. It was
intended to help with sorting, but would make your task a bit easier,
too.

  You can use awk, get the field using substr rather than the field
number, and use the 'split' function to determine if the value is a
time, and if so put the year in place of the time. This is an uglier
solution, but it uses all portable tools.
