Peter,
My reprint of the 1866 Letteris Edition of the Hebrew Bible preserves the spelling
[yod-hatef segol-he-holem-vav-hireq-he] 305 times,
where YHWH follows Adonay.
I assume, but do not know for sure,
that the same situation exists in the Ben Chayyim Hebrew text of 1525,
which underlies the Old Testament of the King James Bible
Below is a link to a photo from Smith's "A dictionary of the Bible" published in 1863;
Although first published in 1863, this photo shows how YHWH is pointed when YHWH follows Adonay in the 1866 Leteris edition of the Hebrew Bible.

Since the photo was first published in 1863,
3 years before the Letteris edition of the Hebrew Bible was published, it is at least possible that it showed how YHWH was pointed when YHWH followed Adonay
in the Ben Chayyim Hebrew Text of 1525.
