Yes, but the NT has always been excluded from the definition of 'Septuagint'. There may be much discussion of the process by which the current Greek OT was arrived at, but the exclusion of the NT is not controversial. The Septugint is, by definition, the Greek translation of the OT and it existed before the Christian church. By the time of the codices that survive, the Christian Bible was considered to be both the Septuagint OT and the NT, therefore they are bound together.

Really?
I was unaware that the septuagint was created at one time or even in one
century.
I also understand that general agreement as to the canon of the septuagint
has never arrived.
And surely, the oldest complete manuscripts of the septuagint include both
old& new testaments as but a single document; witness codices vaticanus,
sinaiticus and alexandrinus.

c. the Western Christian community generally accepts the MT version ofthe
phrase for their old testament; and the septuagint rendering for theirnew
testament; andCorrection on point of fact: there is no such thing as a "Septuagint New
Testament". The LXX is a translation from Hebrew into Greek; the NT is
not.
