They would not have been contemporary to said series with older designations but there could have been a small overlap (the system changed mid 1960's, though the old designations were sometimes printed in newer catalogues as a reference). Late mustards would have been in the 2222 311 series. Chicklets were in the 2222 341 series. The 2 digits following the series designation indicate the type of dielectric (MKC, MKT, possibly MKT-P, etc.), tolerance and working voltage.The last 3 digits indicate the capacitance.
