That is correct, the gas ring was moved from the yoke to the cylinder in 1977 resulting in the -4 change.
What isn't mentioned, and for some reason didn't get a dash number, is that in 1974 the gas ring was moved from the cylinder to the yoke, about the 6K5's for RB and 7K2's for SB.

The gas ring on K-frames was originally on the cylinder so 19-3's made between 1967 and 1974 will have it on the cylinder.
