Alas, it is indeed so, in fact the system is mounted local time in both 
cases, however with different TZ setting, resulting in the file 
timestamp differences.

Interestingly now, this is easily manipulated in GuixSD - my main 
distro, via just prepending the correct TZ= value. Changing the TZ 
results in changing the timestamps with which the card is mounted - as 
should. However, the culprit now is Trisquel, which for some reason 
mounts it in an arbitrary timezone and the TZ variable has no effect on 
the timestamps with which the card is mounted - making backups 
problematic in Trisquel.
