Default Peavey chip ceramic cap labelling of 1990

The schamatic of this PV amp out there is for 2000, this 1994 version
quite different. All the CC caps are small mustard colour epoxy covered
small cylinders. Labelled with likes of 473 or 104 presumably for 47nF
or 100nF but what about marks of 424 and 419?. Or are these the
week/year date marks and the 3letter codes such as KNO and RSC are the
value markings?
2 of these are physically broken, the wire ends broken at the solder
slab. One labeled 473 measures 57nF and one marked 424 measures near
enough 100nF. Vibration failure , inside Bandit 112 combo,preamp section
with no stress telltales anywhere ?
