So that would make him 16
You are correct. Rewatching ep6 reinforces that anime Ed's birthday is on the day of or before Elysia Hughes' birth. Hence anime Ed is 16 as of ep 30.

However manga Ed's birthday is not on the same day as anime Ed. Reference: Vol 4 which contains the arc for ep 23. No references to Ed's birthday though Elysia's was mentioned.

Hence manga Ed is likely to be younger than anime Ed by months even though the timeline has passed through the same year/month.

Note that event wise, Chapter 34 has already finished the key fight of our current anime's arc. Hence the manga can be said to be ahead instead.

I updated the Timeline thread to reflect the birthdays. Thank you for that.

Well, it depends on if I can get the raws and time to do so. Also if I feel able to handle the translations since my lessons in Japanese are not complete yet and I still feel my ability in it still needs some hard work.
