I can see how this could happen if these subs are a translation of subs in a third language that doesn't use latinized numerals that much (eg Arabic), and in the flow of translating hundreds of lines they just kept the note
a lot of the numbers were the same (although not the ones in OP) even back in India where they originated

all i'm saying is a modern arabic speaker would probably confuse ٤ (4), ٦ (6) and ٥ (5)
