So dates were in MDYY format? No padding zeros?

How then would it translate "12399"? As January 23 or as December 3?

Or would they pad with 0s if and only if the date would otherwise be ambiguous? (which would be a pretty complicated and ugly solution, btw)

I have a hard time believing anybody coded dates without padding 0s. They'd have bigger problems than a September Ninth problem.
