...Wycliffe and his followers did a whole Bible, in fact two versions I think. Wycliffe himself was not the main translator but it was issued on his authority.

Thanks, I didn't know we had Wycliffe online -- got it bookmarked. I thought he had only done a portion of Tanach, so I may have to check into that some.

Peter, I don't think you are remotely in sound statistics land :-)
We have only four possible ways of handling the question that you isolated.
Here are some of the most significant, and less related, English translations
I could find -
6 historical biggies, 2 literal, and 3 other more recent
1) Wonderful, Counsellor -- Mighty, God - Wycliffe 2) Wonderful Counsellor -- Mighty, God -
3) Wonderful, Cousellor -- Mighty God - ASV, KJB, Geneva, Douay, Youngs, WEB 4) Wonderful Counsellor -- Mighty God - NAS, Rotherdam, NIV, Tyndale, Matthew
Well, its pretty clear that the separation of Mighty and God is the singular
oddball anomaly,
(understandably), coming from Wycliffe.
Omitting such, we than have only two real possibilities, both frequently used. So seeing KJB and Douay match, (with the Geneva), should not be at all surprising,
is reasonably likely, and not even remotely "highly improbable" :-)
