Why is this and is there any way to get a disk's actual modification date time stamp ?

The other answers you got may be more relevant than mine, but I've thought that maybe what you are missing is that a Finder's container gets modified only if you create or delete (or rename?) items at the first level. If you, say, copy new files into an existing folder, I think the disk won't get modified for Finder.
