You're correct that they look identical for months 10-12, but times are usually
prefixed with "kello" or "klo" to remove ambiguity. The four-digit year also
seems to be preferred.

Dates:
10.2.2008
10.2. (note trailing full stop)
10.2.08
to 10. helmikuuta 2008

Times:
13.37
13.37.42
13.37.42,85

Full:
10.2.2008 klo 13.37
torstai 10. helmikuuta 2008 kello 13.37
