I feel like it’s the same as the way we date things as well. American is month (larger unit) then day (small unit) whereas 5 after 6 gives them in small to largest.
I do wonder about the syntax once you add seconds to the time.
Comment on Is there a “proper“ way to say “6:05 AM”?

I would likely say six oh five as would my wife and friends. We’re all American from different parts of the country, so I suspect this is a difference in British v American English.
