If 7.33g load limit was interpreted in engineering terms as ‘limit load’, then this could be 1.5 times higher than the allowed operational load depending on the chosen safety factor, e.g. the aircraft limit was approx 5g. This is less than the then state-of-the-art operational aircraft at approx 6g, and perhaps without fatigue considerations – cf #2.
