Well technically it's reformatted, but in a way that apparently will equal
the internal representation. So this helped me see what isn't identical
about the two, while still being equal. So the answers are

1) Yes. (Months/Days/Ms 0/1/7200000 vs 0/0/93600000)
2) n/a
3) Yes, there's a way (or at least a functional equivalent) if you do some
calculating... :)
