Enforce 24 hour time format?

Hi
I've tried a number of ways to enforce a 24 hour time format, but all of them seem to fail.
I want this to be displayed no matter what the users locale is as this can't be meddled with.
Currently I have the following - without any success

  <panel>
      <title>Number of trips - Time Window: $timewindow.formatted$</title>
      <chart>
        <search>
          <query>sourcetype="anewcar" type=Transport source=$UserID2$* | timechart count by event | rename NULL AS Resor</query>
          <earliest>$Kortid.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$Kortid.latest$</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
          <progress>
            <!-- Parse ISO time from the search job -->
            <eval token="parsed.earliest">strptime($job.earliestTime$, "%F:%T")</eval>
            <eval token="parsed.latest">strptime($job.latestTime$, "%F:%T")</eval>
            <!-- Pretty print the parsed time -->
            <eval token="formatted.earliest">strftime($parsed.earliest$,"%c")</eval>
            <eval token="formatted.latest">if(isnull($job.latestTime$), "now", strftime($parsed.latest$,"%c"))</eval>
            <!-- Create time window message -->
            <eval token="timewindow.formatted">if(isnull($formatted.earliest$), "...", $formatted.earliest$ + " to " + $formatted.latest$) + if($job.isRealTimeSearch$, " (real-time)", "")</eval>
          </progress>
          <!-- Clear time window message when the search gets cancelled or fails -->
          <cancelled>
            <unset token="timewindow.formatted"></unset>
          </cancelled>
          <error>
            <unset token="timewindow.formatted"></unset>
          </error>
          <fail>
            <unset token="timewindow.formatted"></unset>
          </fail>
        </search>

You can use chart to do the same as timechart:

... | eval Time = strftime(_time, "%m/%d %H:%M") | chart count as Total by Time
