74868 is the CAGE Code assigned by the Defense Logistics Agency to The Amphenol Corporation for items sold to DoD.

This CAGE Code indicates the item is an Amphenol manufactured product. I suspect the 49190 is an internal Amphenol number.

I have some newer ones with "Amphenol 83-1SP-1050" and older ones without
the "1050". On another line below are "74868 PL-259 49190", which is the
same on both vintages.

Comments anyone?

I have suspicions about the 83-1SP as well.
The only issue I've had with Amphenol-branded connectors was with a
batch of 83-1SPs that was part of a group purchase from a major
electronics distributor for NCCC and a couple of local clubs in Santa
Cruz, CA. Two of the connectors (out of probably more than 50) I was
installing had short threads. All of this occurred more than five years
ago.

It has recently come to my attention that, several years ago Amphenol,
began acquiring connector manufacturers and re-branding their connectors
as sub-imprints of Amphenol products. I think I had seen a post that the
"Amphenol RF" branding was the real deal. It would benefit all of us to
have solid info on this.
