I did indicate to you that at least one file in your home directory was
last modified at its creation date:

"There is almost certainly at least one file there which has remained
unmodified. I copied my user home directory from another system to this
one and "ls -lat .??*" clearly shows that my account was created on
Dec 7, 2002."

If that MAC's userland still resembles FreeBSD-3.2, from which it
derives, and you don't have access to a Solaris system then what does

$ ls -lat ~/.??*

show you about the file creation dates?
