I agree with you.

About second patch:
+Zone Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh 7:06:40 - LMT 1906 Jul 1
+ 7:06:30 - PLMT 1911 May 1
+ 7:00 - ICT 1942 Dec 31 23:00

+ 7:00 - ICT 1947 Apr 1
+ 8:00 - IDT 1955 Jul 1
+ 7:00 - ICT 1959 Dec 31 23:00
+ 8:00 - IDT 1975 Jun 13
7:00 - ICT
This is Hanoi, not Ho Chi Minh City.
I find an other book about this topic:
Name: Lịch âm dương Việt Nam 1900-2010
Author: Nguyễn Văn Chung
Publisher: Nhà xuất bản văn hóa dân tộc
Edition: 2001
- It confirms the date `1906 Jul 1'. So I think this date is correct.
- It said Phù Liễn is 104°17’17” East. But I think `east of Paris' is
correct. In Google map, it is: 20°47'05.1"N+106°38'22.0"E
Unfortunately, It don't show any other information that we need.
Some photos about Phù Liễn:
