Could this mean that an 'asston' is a backward formation based on a misapprehension of what the 'butt' in 'buttload' refers to??

Barrels still called butts in some contexts. Water butt for example.

Couldn’t even concentrate on what a BUTT LOAD is ; you’re so beautiful 😩🥹💞

This did not go where I thought it would.

In 1478, George Duke of Clarence was drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine for plotting treason against his brother, Edward IV. This is according to Shakespeare in ‘Richard III’

No one said "buttload" until maybe 30 years ago. It's just a variation of "boat load", or nicer variation of "shitload". 🤦♂️ This is like hearing "shit ton" in a show set in 1976. No one said "shit ton" back then, that's a modern variation.
