“当天”的“当”读阴平时,“当天”意思是指在事情发生的那一天,是动作时间发生的时间参照点;读去声时,“当天”意思是同一天,或本天,表示在同一个时段。“当月”、“当年”也是如此 。
Now this is a small difference, except in the case of 當年.
In any case it leads to two possible pronunciations; dicts may only indicate one

N:
当天 [dāngtiān]
1. 名 指过去某件事情发生的那一天
他当天就回老家去了
当天 [dàngtiān]
1. 名 指事情发生的同一天;(就在)这一天
他回来的当天正赶上宣传队来演出

K:
當年/当年 dāngnián [ n,adv ]
◊ at that time, in those days ◊ a lifetime ◊ one's robust years, one's prime of life
當年/当年 dàngnián [ n,adv ]
◊ (in) the same year

M and Z carry only dàngtiān, but Z has dāngrì and dàngrì (from the same source), pointing to some incoherence in use; conversely, M only has dāngrì
Diff:
# N, Z
- 當天 当天 [dang4 tian1] /that day/the same day/
+ 當天 当天 [dang1 tian1] /on that day/
+ 當天 当天 [dang4 tian1] /the same day/
# M has only dang4 tian1, not coherent with the rest
 
# all dicts
= 當年 当年 [dang1 nian2] /in those days/then/in those years/during that time/
+ 當年 当年 [dang4 nian2] /that very same year/
 
# Z, N
= 當日 当日 [dang4 ri4] /that very day/the same day/
+ 當日 当日 [dang1 ri4] /on that day/
# M has only dang1 ri4
 
- 當月 当月 [dang4 yue4] /that month/the same month/
+ 當月 当月 [dang4 yue4] /the same month/
+ 當月 当月 [dang1 yue4] /on that month/
# M has only dang1 yue4
# N and Z only have dang4 yue4; but it seems evident from their def that they left out dang1 yue4,
# with examples as 这个月的任务,当月中旬就已完成了。(dang4 is apt here)
 
# K, N (GF)
- 當夜 当夜 [dang4 ye4] /that night/
+ 當夜 当夜 [dang4 ye4] /that very night/the same night/
+ 當夜 当夜 [dang1 ye4] /on that night/
# M only has dang1
 
# GF indicates both pronunciations
# others have dang4, except M who has dang1
- 當晚 当晚 [dang4 wan3] /that evening/the same evening/
+ 當晚 当晚 [dang4 wan3] /the same evening/
+ 當晚 当晚 [dang1 wan3] /on that evening/
