Were it a fixed width file, things would be much simpler. The following does work on your sample but will fail if positions of spaces and fields shift:
This will work on many systems. Unfortunately the standards are silent as to which line with identical keys will be printed by sort -u so there is no guarantee that it will always print the 1st line in each set of lines with identical strings in the 1st three characters of the line.
The following should work portably (as long as the 8 digit date string starts in column 13 or 14 and is preceded by a space if it starts in column 14):
But, of course, if you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, you'd have to change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, /usr/xpg6/bin/awk, or nawk.

audit - audit trail format and other information for auditing
DESCRIPTION
Audit records are generated when users make security-relevant system calls, as well as by self-auditing processes that call (see aud-
write(2)). Access to the auditing system is restricted to super-user.
Each audit record consists of an audit record header and a record body. The record header is comprised of sequence number, process ID,
event type, and record body length. The sequence number gives relative order of all records; the process ID belongs to the process being
audited; the event type is a field identifying the type of audited activity; the length is the record body length expressed in bytes.
The record body is the variable-length component of an audit record containing more information about the audited activity. For records
generated by system calls, the body contains the time the audited event completes in either success or failure, and the parameters of the
system calls; for records generated by self-auditing processes, the body consists of the time audwrite(2) writes the records and the high-
level description of the event (see audwrite(2)).
The records in the audit trail are compressed to save file space. When a process is audited the first time, a pid identification record
(PIR) is written into the audit trail containing information that remains constant throughout the lifetime of the process. This includes
the parent's process ID, audit tag, real user ID, real group ID, effective user ID, effective group ID, group ID list, effective, permit-
ted, and retained privileges, compartment ID, and the terminal ID (tty). The PIR is entered only once per process per audit trail.
Information accumulated in an audit trail is analyzed and displayed by (see audisp(1M)).
