I'm using the compface tool to generate the correct
X-Face string from a 48x48 bitmap created from the time
stamp with two self-written (very old) Perl scripts.

Here the compface description from my Debian 10 system:

| user15@o15:/tmp$ apt show compface
| Package: compface
| Version: 1:1.5.2-5+b2
| Priority: optional
| Section: mail
| Source: libcompface (1:1.5.2-5)
[...]
| Installed-Size: 47,1 kB
| Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libcompfaceg1
| Tag: interface::commandline, role::program, scope::utility, use::compressing,
|  use::converting, works-with::image, works-with::image:raster,
|  works-with::mail
| Download-Size: 11,9 kB
| APT-Manual-Installed: yes
| APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
| Description: Compress/decompress images for mailheaders, user tools
|  Converts 48x48 .xbm format (X bitmap) files to a compressed format
|  that can be placed in your X-Face: mail header. Some mailreaders,
|  like exmh will then display this image when the user is reading your mail.
