Three things are being erroneously conflated here.
* The Julian calendar, which actually has nothing to do with this field on the panel.
* The Julian day number, which is actually a day count since a point in the 48th century BCE, and again nothing actually to do with the panel.
* The day number of the year, which is sometimes colloquially, but erroneously, referred to as the "Julian day".
The panel is making that very error. It used to be a fairly common error, and you can see its echoes in the likes of "j" being a format specifier in various systems that expands to the day of the year. It is not so common, now. But it still happens occasionally.
