Yes, typos and peculiarities support the idea of the text being a distinct tradition, a text "between" the eastern and western texts, which may represent a version that predates our standardized Peshitta texts, and possibly represents the earliest complete Aramaic NT.
I am looking for reliable sources on the details, to test the idea that it is actually preserving the archetype of the Peshitta text. Presumably, it is actually in agreement with the eastern text except for two passages, and therefore is not endorsed by those who advocate peshitta primacy based on their orthodox traditions.
However, since I am not a dogmatic nor an advocate of any particular tradition, it seems plausible that the Crawford MS contains the entire original text of both eastern and western Peshitta, i.e. before any changes. Of course this would imply that there may be two changes in the eastern text, which is why I am desiring to verify it.
