But you need to store all the timestamps you have seen in an allowable
window.

Really, I don't understand why you use a timestamp in a three-leg
protocol.  It seems like you want to have a challenge in the second
leg copied back in the third leg encrypted in a per-session key.
However it sounds like DCE did not do this.
