 The Registry has the ability to unify monthly data so that the formats: yyyy-mm and yyyy-Mmm are considered the same on a data input.  By default the Registry will treat the dates 2000-01 and 2000-M01 as different observation times. If you wish these to be represented as the same format (either with or without the "M" character) this can be enabled in the Registry. In Registry version 10.5.7 there is no User Interface for this feature and it must be enabled by invoking a Web Service.
