Shlama,
I would venture to say that the dating was probably soon after the destruction of the Temple but remaining within and not outside the first century, as you mentioned.
What is the actual source text of "UBS Syriac Bible 1979". Is this a critical edition?
I believe it would also be fair to say that it is quite possible that the superscriptions could very well have been added by a later scribe (or group of scribes), but I would not say for sure because I'm not completely familiar with the UBS text you mentioned. I'm interested in learning more about it.
