The whole business of time zone offsets is a mess.
First, it's not clear whether ISO 8601 requires ":" in numeric time zone
offsets. RFC 3339 Appendix A suggests it's not.
Second, in practice the colon often is omitted; it's certainly omitted
by POSIX and ISO C strftime %z, by the Time Zone D

Are you sure this is valid? In RFC 9557 [1] we have the ABNF rules
time-zone = "[" critical-flag time-zone-name / time-numoffset "]"
time-zone-name= time-zone-part *("/" time-z
