I would imagine that if the problem was with UTC time, then the logs would be asynchronised in intervals of 30 minutes or full hours, depending on which time zones are involved. This should be NTC issue in my opinion.

Selected Answer: A
Even if the firewall is using UTC time, the difference would typically be an exact number of hours, like 1, 2, or 5 hours, depending on the time zone. A 43-minute difference suggests a clock drift rather than a time zone issue.
