You are correct in your observation. The circuit is working properly. The 74LS190N is a BCD Counter meaning that it will only count from 0-9. If you try to load it with a value of 9 or higher then it resets back to zero on the next clock pulse. This is why it is counting from 40 instead of 4D.
I hope this helps.
