I'm aware that in some situations TO92 transistors marked C556 mean BC556
(not 2SC556), can the same be for BF...?
I have a board with dozens of BF422, HV transistors on. These agree with the
schematic but someone has previously replaced 2 with a pair marked F422 and
one of them has failed B-C-E short. Diode testing (Vb-c < Vb-e) the
remaining one shows correct pinout for BF422

That marking style is fairly common.

it with Philips TO92 BC... types
