Actually, when I got mine done I was told -nothing- is allowed to be on the back, so there was no stamp, no writing, no anything. I guess they're not enforcing it--I was approved just fine without anything on the back of mine.
And also, I don't think they need to be dated for the whole 6 month thing, since at the biometrics the person there will be looking at you and can decide themselves whether the picture doesn't look like your likeness.
PS ~ Here's a warning, 'cause I didn't know, The picture that is being taken is going to be put ON THE STICKER IN YOUR PASSPORT. so if you want it to not look hideous, ask them for a redo. Mine looks weird, but my friend and I have this theory that they spilled something on it once it got there. Aw well. I gotta get a new one in 3 years anyway!
