Conclusion.
An easier general explanation for the verses in question -
The Greek OT was 'smoothed' by low-quality scribes between 100 AD to 500 AD
to be closer to the NT - by scribes who simply could not leave midrash alone
:-)
HH: Where did you get this information?
Many places.
One good book is by Floyd Nolen Jones.

The Septuagint: A Critical Analysis
You don't include other sources of LXX quotations such as Philo and Josephus.
Schmuel
You have confused two distinct issues. The
1) question of a vorlage behind the Greek OT and 2) actual verses that are used for NT/Tanach supposed borrowing.
Do Philo or Josephus give any support for those actual verses ?
I have never seen even one.
