That is a fantastic piece of work with all those time codes and everything. Users on the Wikia have often told me that unless specifically stated otherwise, all new releases are set in real time, but personally I do not completely agree with that - I was the one who campaigned for Daredevil and Jessica Jones to be moved because it didn't make sense to have them in real time. I do believe that everything should happen approximately in real time (say within a few months of real time), but if, like you have suggested, dates in the film suggest that it takes place a little out of real time I would usually agree that that is the case.

However, WHiH is confirmed to take place in real time. For example, in July 2015, one or two of the titles of the videos actually had the real dates on them. Also, on July 4th 2015 they posted about fireworks to celebrate, and they recently posted about Earth Day on the real Earth Day and things like that. I don't think they actually say it is weekly, just that they post updates throughout the week(s).

Much as I would love to go with the dates on the newspapers and package (which were great spots by the way, I had been looking out for dates and couldn't see them), WHiH takes precedence over prop dates, especially since prop dates are quite often wrong. I agree that "last month" could just mean one or two weeks ago, but in this case, because Lagos happens on May 3rd, it means June. As well as this, Zemo says he has been working on bringing them together for "over a year" since Sokovia, and Sokovia was May 2015 (confirmed when Stark says it was Summer in Civil War), putting this in either late May or June, as confirmed by WHiH.

The order of what takes more importance for working out the timeline is:
 * Dates and time references verbally stated in the films and shows or shown as an edited in title such as "18 months ago" shown on screen in Jessica Jones or "one year ago" in AoS etc.
 * Anything officially released by Marvel about the timeline
 * WHiH
 * Props that give realistic dates that make sense
 * Real time
 * Other props

Your prop dates are realistic dates that make sense, but are out-done by WHiH and Zemo's stated "over a year" unfortunately, as much as I would love for prop dates to fit with the M.C.U. timeline, that is how it works on this Wikia.

Feel free to contact me again with any other queries because you seem to be very good at spotting timeline references and I may quite possibly have missed something.
