The objdump: ... file format not recognized error is the key, along with the "PE time stamp" hint.

That error for 4fb72a1a24.bin (chunk 16f73) means it's corrupted, so it's the incorrect piece for Pair 2. This strongly implies the other file in each pair is the correct one, and we just need the right sorting key.

The hint says "PE time stamp." Let's build the flag by choosing the file with the oldest (numerically smallest) PE timestamp from each pair.

Pair 0: ... 11:46:55 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:56

Chunk: flag{

Pair 1: ... 11:46:55 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:57

Chunk: be7a1

Pair 2: ... 11:46:55 is the only valid timestamp (the other file is broken).

Chunk: e6817

Pair 3: ... 11:46:55 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:57

Chunk: d85d5

Pair 4: ... 11:46:56 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:57

Chunk: 49f8b

Pair 5: ... 11:46:56 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:57

Chunk: 5abfa

Pair 6: ... 11:46:56 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:58

Chunk: f18ba

Pair 7: ... 11:46:56 (Oldest) < ... 11:46:58

Chunk: 02}

Final Flag: flag{be7a1e6817d85d549f8b5abfaf18ba02}

flag{

be7a1

e6817

d85d5

49f8b

5abfa

02}
