Any missing versions within a description are not statements of unavailability. Though I am sure I used them, I simply do not remember testing these commands in other versions of Ubuntu, and would rather not list them if not one-hundred percent confident in their existence.
If there is an asterisk within the version, that command is most likely as universal a command as could exist.
cal

cal -3
There are quite a few nice options for cal, such as '-3' which shows the previous, current, and next month surrounding today. [v18.04]
