do related substances actually matter or is it forum lore at this point
The title is the whole question — do related substances actually matter or is it forum lore at this point — but here is why I am asking. The PDF creation date being later than the analysis date is usually a re-issue or a re-export. It is worth one question and it is not evidence of anything on its own. Ask what the…
UV at 214nm sees the peptide bond and picks up almost everything; at 280nm you are looking at aromatics only. Which wavelength the number came from is part of the number.
That is not what the method line says. It names the technique; it does not certify the operator.

Careful — "the metadata looks odd" is a reason to ask a question, not a conclusion. Re-issues are ordinary.
post the whole document, not the headline number
Not quite. Two labs with different gradients can resolve a close-eluting impurity differently and both be reporting honestly.
identity and quantity are two questions and most documents answer one

Adding the bit that always gets missed: the lot on the vial has to match the lot on the page, or none of this applies to your material.
Correction: that is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning, and the document says so if you read the row label.
Small fix — 214nm, not 280nm. It matters here because the impurity you are asking about barely absorbs at the longer wavelength.
