By any chance is any of this data in another database such as Oracle, DB2 or SQL server?

 

There are a lot of systems out there that say something is a "date" but is actually a datetime. The specific value you show makes me beleive that you actually have a date, 08/01/2015, as a value being inserted into something that is expecting a datetime value.
