You definitely want to check the photo date in Google Earth to determine

Agreed - and sometimes there's no obvious reason why the dates of nearby
places differ as much as they do, though sometimes obvious colour changes
make it clear that they were covered during different flights. This can
be quite obvious with your viewpoint at 5000-10000m (15,000 - 30,000 ft)
above ground level.
