Another "which date to believe?" question

The date of birth I was given by various sources for my aunt (my father's older sister) was September 1, 1901. I had assumed this was correct, but two other dates appear on official documents.

My grandfather's petition for naturalization has dates of birth for all his children. My aunt's DOB is given as 8-2-00 on there. Unlike my father, for which the discrepancy is just a few days, here it's over a year.

And on the petition for naturalization for my aunt's husband, there is a statement that his wife was born in 1902, though no more precise date is given.

Again, the option of searching for original birth records is not practical. As I said in another post, first of all, they'd probably be in Russian, which I can't read. Second of all, in World War II, the Nazis went through that area, and there's not a lot of a chance that the records would have survived that.
