Attached please find dump of the raw info from my system.
("%a %d %b %Y" covers a lot and is quite likely still comprehensible by 
a lot of the others).

There are some locales that differ in that part despite being the
same language (following by visual inspection only, and n.b. just in 
case: this is only a list of the locales where the langauge is the same 
but the date part of the d_t_fmt different, this is not a list of 
locales differing from "%a %d %b %Y")

*Afar (aa):
- aa_DJ (Djibouti): "%a %d %b %Y"
- aa_ER (Eritrea):  "%A, %B %e, %Y"
- aa_ET (Ethiopia): "%A, %B %e, %Y"

*Arabic (ar):
mostly "%d %b, %Y", except:
- ar_IN (India): "%A %d %B %Y"
- ar_SA (Saudi Arabia): "%A %e %B %Y"

*English (en):
mostly "%a %d %b %Y"  (including US!) except:
numeric, Y-m-d ordering
- en_DK (Denmark):  "%Y-%m-%d"

month and day in full, day,month,year ordering:

- en_PH (Philippines): "%A, %d %B, %Y"
- en_SG (Sinqgapore): "%A %d,%B,%Y"

*Frisian (fy):
just dot after the %d in one and not the other.
- fy_NL: "%a %d %b %Y"
- fy_DE: "%a %d. %b %Y"
