All sources I've found claim the 42S production ended in 1995 or 1996. It seems unlikely HP would restart production a few years later in another country to only a produce a small number if units.

Seems much more likely that the backs of 42S units with such dates are likely from cases of later machines used in homebuilt repairs.

@Massimo - how can you tell it was built as a replacement unit?

Maybe because it is in its brown cardboard box? ;)

I knew we've already been here...
