...a theory is to what may have caused this to happen?

In your pictures I can see the standard Earl's hose and fittings but, I can't see any high-pressure P\S hose and fittings.
Extreme pressure spikes at the end of steering travel will blow a standard ss hose assembly.
Earl's high pressure P\S hose has a blue fabric cover and when used with high pressure hose ends, is rated for an operating pressure of 2250 psi.
My theory... wrong hose.
