Hey Kieran, your calculation for local noon seems spot on - my calculations make it at GMT 03h 15m 37s. Since 360d and 0d are the same, the expression of one then the other may just be a glitz of that program. But I share your puzzlement about the lack of change in the azimuth, despite Herbert Prinz's short note. As best I understand it, he is saying that the rate of change is smaller than the units we are using - ie, one tenth of a minute of arc? Any chance of more detail about this?
