Lenovo Date Record (Type 134)

Source: reverse engineered from the dumps of the data corpus.

Holds a date of a ThinkPad, which falls within the years the model has been made in, and so is probably its manufacture date, e.g. November 27, 2021 in lenovo/thinkpad-t14-g2a-20xk.bin. Structures of type 134 holding TPM information instead are told by their first string, TPM INFO.
