Thanks for posting the contract rules. It good to see negotiated compromises.
From the language shown it's not clear, does the last day have to be planned to end before midnight or is the cutoff 01:30.
Our only advantage I can see in comparison is getting the OT day for ending at midnight 01.
Other differences:
We can be planned to 16 hours instead of 14.
We don't get a delayed start on the next trip for a late return.
It's the crew's option to continue past 16 hours but no OT day if you go over 16 hours but end before midnight.
Sometimes the first flight home on a forced OT day is modified to be the first cheap flight home but usually(not always) they get us going early.
The obvious big disadvantage is that our '"rules" can be changed unilaterally by the company.
