If things were as simple as that we would have had some more detailed answers. However there are two major problems:

The content of Carbon-14 in an organism depends on the level of Carbon-14 in the surrounding air which depends on the Carbon-14 of the environment. There can be a huge difference between different planets and a smaller difference between station environment but as long as we don't know what environment the body has originally been exposed to we cannot get acuate results on this method.

The low radiation of the drifter body does also interfere with our readings to make it even more inaccuate.

What sort of scientists throws the towel because they think a test might not give results? A good scientist would have done every possible battery of tests anyways!

The question is rather simple. Is it a Jove body or a Sleeper body?

The report state the teeth were in good condition. Now the question we should ask is, did the Drifter bite on anything during this epoch? The report also says the diggestive tract was present but glistened in some form of nanite byproduct. Did the conversion happened recently or a long time ago?

If carbon dating is out of the picture, check for organic contaminants! If that thing has been living in a Sleeper bubblewrap like the lack of immune system suggests, we can rule out a ghastly demise for the Jove Empire, which we haven't heard since ages!

Furthermore, a comparative analysis between Jove tissue samples (Blood, Bone Fragment, Epidermis Sliver, Liver Bile) and what samples were obtained from the corpse provided a fairly conclusive result. While some genetic markers between the Drifter and Jove are a match, there is simply too much differentiation between the Jove and the Drifters. They are not the same
beings in any sense of the word.

Seeing as the Q&A session was, uh, rather interrupted, Ms. Starsurge, associates, would you be willing to field some questions here?

For instance, does the 'unknown radiation' of the blood match any other objects we're aware of? For instance, Antikythera Elements, Tyrannos weapons, the radiation from Caroline's Star...?

I thought sleepers needed a body for their cons iousness? It's entirely possible the body was underwhelming as it was simply all that was required to physically support the 'brain'. Any more may well have been unecessary

23194-02-01 - Gallente have created an agency known as The Scope for the dissemination of information across Empires. Suggest that this network be monitored. Potential to extrapolate prototype for impartial communication between disparate enclaves.

A likely explanation is that we have pushed the drifters to begin their offense sooner than expected. Or it might just have been their plan.
