The file was reverted to a version uploaded at 00:10 UTC, that is the time being used to generate the reversion message. The table show the date using the user timezone. Hence the file at 00:10UTC is listed as 01:10.

The revert message should mention the timezone used on the wiki. The message is 'filerevert-defaultcomment'.

Does not seem to have an easy way to mention the timezone there :-(
