GPLv2 doesn't say though that once the binary is released originally,

possibly extended to 3 years + a release's lifecycle.
That's your interpretation. Are you a lawyer?
Without putting words in people's mouths, including a time frame is
consistent with my conversation with Brett Smith of the FSF.
So has it been with some people I've talked to -can't think of their
names right now. The overall impression was though, that the counter
does not reset itself because of some third party taking you up on the
original offer. Hence the thought it might be worthwhile to investigate.
