Deciphering some Hexcode

I'm deciphering some hexcode that I've determined are dates.

I've determined that:

50 C0 01 00 => 2014-05-21
52 C0 01 00 => 2014-05-23
59 C0 01 00 => 2014-05-30

The last byte of 00 seems to be superfluous padding. I tried applying the packing scheme that MySQL uses for dates, but that doesn't appear to work here.

Do you guys have any insight on how these dates are being packed into binary/hexcode?
