The first digit is the talker - 0 for RB and 1 for XO.

The second digit is status - 0 for active, 1 for inactive

The third digit has always been 0 during my experiments.

The fourth digit is 0=warmup, 1=GPS lock, 2=holdover?, 3=fault/fail

The 32F3AC52 is GPS time; it represents the number of seconds elapsed
since 6-Jan-1980:00:00:00.

The two digits before the time are a counter showing the number
of hours the module has been in its present state. Max count 0xff.

Mine say E004.  The ROM version on my mezannine board is 4.

Would your ROM version happen to be 9?
