I think for brevity and consistency we should use "2am". I've added that to the policy, but happy to discuss alternatives.

I agree. I've raised the issue of time 
notation (2am? 2 a.m.? 2 AM?) in an edit 
to the 丑の刻 entry.

I think "2 in the morning" looks odd.
I suggest either "two o'clock in the morning" or "2am".
