Neville recounts that in September, before the November birthday of his New York namesake, he saw the boy before he was born and asked when he was coming; the boy answered 'tenth of November.' He told his wife (kiddingly, since she was not pregnant) and separately told a pregnant friend that if her child were a boy born on the tenth he should be named Neville Mark - which came to pass. Age given elsewhere in the same 1968 lecture (turning sixteen on 10 November) dates the birth to 1952 and the vision to September 1952.

Why
Passage 538881 elsewhere says he saw the child 'two weeks before he came into the world', which would put the vision in late October rather than September; the fuller, more specific first account (month named, reason for the timing given) is preferred, and the discrepancy is left visible rather than silently resolved.
Reasoning
Neville states the vision occurred in September, before the child's November birthday; the child's stated age in the same 1968-10-11 lecture ('now sixteen or will be November 10th') back-dates that birthday to 10 Nov 1952, putting the vision in September 1952. Month is directly stated; year is arithmetic from the boy's age given elsewhere in the same telling, hence relative/circa rather than exact.

Reasoning
1 claim, no conflict: 1968-10-11 (node:1385).
11 October 1968
stated
Reasoning
Two independent certain delivery claims on the lecture containing both witnessing passages agree exactly on 1968-10-11; a Friday, consistent with Neville's usual lecture nights.
