In Codex Leningradensis there is a clear sof pasuq, and a space
(interpreted by BHS as setuma), after each of commandments 6-9 in Deut
5. There is also a double set of accents. The Biblica Rabbinica, the
early 16th century printed text, is the same.

I will send to David and Yigal offlist a scan of the relevant parts.
