Maybe I've lost track here, but I thought we were starting from the assumption that this was a 2009 acquired disc.
There isn't any way a disc manufactured in 2009 could have files on it with 2012 modification dates. That was a good observation and is not something any of us would have thought of to ask. Is it all possible that what you have there is a post-Sept 2012 install disc for the base game, which would indeed require Origin exactly as you have described, that got inserted into the 2009 packaging at some point way after you had acquired it?
