This seems to be the way Ten Tec power amps are set up. My Titans,
vintage 1980, are also set up that way.

So take the cover off and look at it! That's what I did. End of
confusion. :)
It's also quite easy to change, simply by taking the knob off and
re-seating to zero at max capacity. Now capacitance will be minimum at 10.
It's also important to realize that a pi-network is an impedance
matching network. So changing the value of the capacitors changes the
match between the output impedance of the tubes and the connected
transmission line.
