Looks like a simple oversight or bug in RHEL 6 that was fixed for 7.
The latter is correct for UK standard usage. CentOS just follows RHEL.
It is defined in the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_GB
CentOS 6 has:
date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0065>/
which translates to "%a %b %e", e.g. "Thu Nov 15"
CentOS 7 has:
date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0065><U0020><U0025><U0062>/
which translates to "%a %e %b", e.g. "Thu 15 Nov"
