Five Cube Calendar

There are five cubes which together can be used to display any day of the year in the form 21MAY.

The first two cubes contain the dates. Each face has a digit. The 6 also fills in for the 9. Arrange these two cubes can make any date from 01 to 31. Also, for one cube, the sum of the digits is a perfect square.

The remaining three cubes have a letter on each face. There are no repeats. They can be arranged so that the front faces display the first three letters of each month, except August which is displayed as VAC since so many people are on vacation during that month.

What other digits are on the same cube as the 6? What other letters are on the same cube as the E?
