I have a copy of the CCAT parallel electronic text, so I tried looking 
through it (my search technique probably left something to be desired). 
Here's what I found (assuming I've interpreted it correctly):

Sir 11:4; 36:8 appear to have יי (YY) which the Greek renders κυριος 
(kurios).
Sir 11:12, 14, 21; 15:18; 16:2; 35:24; 40:26; 44:16; 45:21; 46:3, 6, 
10, 19; 50:13, 20, 29; 51:12 appear to have ייי (YYY) which the Greek 
renders κυριος (kurios).

I would not assume this to be either correct or comprehensive, but 
perhaps it goes some way towards answering your query.

Regards,
