I was not able to find these abbreviations in the source you provided at the top of the file. I was able to find the following abbreviations after a while of googling tho:

Full Abbreviated (this PR) Abbreviated (what I found)
juli jul. jul. (can confirm)
juni juni jun.
mai mai mai (can confirm)
mars mars mar.

Can you provide another source for the abbreviations by chance?

Interesting. I looked further into this via the Unicode CLDR Project, and found these values:

Months - abbreviated - Formatting (https://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/no/Gregorian/header_Months_abbreviated_Formatting)

English Norwegian
Jan jan.
Feb feb.
Mar mars
Apr apr.
May mai
Jun juni
Jul juli
Aug aug.
Sep sep.
Oct okt.
Nov nov.
Dec des.

Months - abbreviated - Standalone (https://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/no/Gregorian/header_Months_abbreviated_Standalone)

English Norwegian
Jan jan
Feb feb
Mar mar
Apr apr
May mai
Jun jun
Jul jul
Aug aug
Sep sep
Oct okt
Nov nov
Dec des

The tables above seem to align with the Språkrådet's recommendation not to abbreviate mai, juni, and juni in context.

For weekdays, I decided to follow this table from the CLDR project:
Days - abbreviated - Formatting (https://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/no/Gregorian/header_Days_abbreviated_Formatting)

English Norwegian
Sun søn.
Mon man.
Tue tir.
Wed ons.
Thu tor.
Fri fre.
Sat lør.

Thoughts?

These don't seem to be abbreviated, which might be correct, just pointing that out.
