On the Mac side, using your search, I'm not finding any 1969 dates. 

Any other dates before 1970?  Not just 1969?

Hey Stargeek!  No date field from Phil's search shows up with anything but contemporary dates or zeroes.
I'm just wondering if Apple is reading a zero or null field and interpreting it as Dec. 31, 1969, 4:00PM.
Cheers.

That's it.  The zero date/time is being interpreted as the start of the epoch, which is Jan 1, 1970 UTC.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Just like Phil said. The reason you are seeing it as 31 dec 1969 has to do with your time zone; you live 8:00 hours before UTC)
