The kernel doesn't timestamp the logs, AFAIK. That is done by syslog when it writes the logs to disk. If you check "dmesg" output - no timestamps. > Can anyone point me to the right place to deal with this? Restart syslog so that it notices the new timezone, or something else, I don't know. IIRC, you are the one doing strange things with syslog. Are you doing network syslog logging now? Are both of your hosts running with the same timezone?
