Does EasyTrack send Concox 0x7878 frames?
No. EasyTrack is ASCII. A line starts with a star, a two-character maker code, the IMEI, then a two-character type, and ends with a hash.
How does EasyTrack store date and time?
After the A or V flag, year month day and hour minute second arrive as hex pairs, not decimal NMEA digits.

JZ is cell-only. It carries CID, LAC, MCC, and MNC. It does not plot a new coordinate.
What is an EasyTrack OB record?
OB is OBD extras after a BD$ marker: battery, RPM, and speed. It rides the last known fix.
