Default
Unless you're after minutes, the date switch for the first field should be:
\@ "MMMM DD, YYYY"
not:
\@ "mmmm dd, yyyy"

As for the cross-reference, that's a simple matter of using a different date switch there:
\@ "MM-DD-YY"

Note: If you're using the \* Charformat switch along with a date switch, the \* Charformat must be inserted after the date switch.
