It shows 320pF. Its marked 04UL is supposed to mean 40 joules, although the
data sheet says 60J.

I want to conclude that the MOV can short pulling over 25ma thru the 1/8th
watt resistor, heating it up, due to 10khz components on the voltage, and
not an actual high voltage. Would this be a true statement?

Without having the exact waveform, it is impossible to say exactly how
much current the MOV capacitance allows through. I suggest you try an
experiment of removing one of the MOVs and see how much cooler the
resistor runs.
