Let me re-phrase;

1. How many different BIBLE TRANSLATION societies or organizations
there are in the world and

A very large number.

2. Which ones translate the MT and which ones translate the LXX?


You had better ask each one of them. Of course there are likely to be many which translate from whichever of the two is most appropriate for each individual project, or from eclectic mixes of the two chosen on careful text critical grounds. And sadly there are some which translate from neither because they translate only the New Testament.
