I might miss something but when downloading the photos and checking 'create' and 'modified' dates - they are all from today and time downloaded. See attached screenshots from picture in Google Photos and from downloaded photo locally. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? screenshot 2017-11-01 22 27 27 screenshot 2017-11-01 22 27 42

In Google Photos, you're looking at the photo metadata (embedded EXIF data) but in Finder you're viewing the file metadata (created by the file system). Open Preview, then Show Inspector and you will see the photo's original Date Time there. :)
