Interesting that

get-help get-date -full

does not mention MM

It incorrectly lists m as the two-digit month format selection.

Try

get-help -full get-date|out-string -stream|select-string ' m ' -casesensitive

I see now that the help formats are only for the -Uformat (UNIX format) variations.

For the .NET versions the values are not in the help text itself,

 but you are expected to look at
