I just can't stand things like this. Isn't there anyone at Universal that checks if the information on the films and related media is consistent?!

I think we should avoid being dogmatic about any of the given dates. We should provide both dates in the article with sources. The reader will decide which one makes more sense.

My utter speculation:

The Masrani website was created by actual JP fans. When they needed a date for Hammond's birth they looked in existing JP media. In the opening line of Trespasser Hammond's birth years is given: 1928. So, they used that one.

The stage of JW was created by random artists who know nothing about JP lore. Universal is utterly oblivious about what is written on the Masrani site or any other JP media. So, they gave the artists a carte blanche to make up any year. The artists knew the first film takes place in 1993, they substracted 80 years, and that given 1993.
