Any thoughts on what's going on? Or do you figure they've changed something about the drive?

I tried with enc on and with enc off with several different firmware files listed below.

HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin

HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142.bin

DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin

I tried several FW bins. Including:

DE_LG_BU40N_1.00
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.01-RM00000-211712221221

The thing that looks weird to me is the year 2119. is that normal?

I purchased the below from the list of recommended drives, but I don't think this enclosure actually accepts commands from flasher tools.
