Dave,
I ran across a site that provides a translation of the NT in Hebrew. The site explains that this was carried out by several Jews quite a while back. They took the greek and translated it into Hebrew. The site is here:

The reason I'm bringing it up to you is for the possibility of trying an experiment. You have done extensive code research in the greek already and this would be another area to cover on the originality aspect.
I believe, as you know, that the peshitta is a condensed, standardized translation from the greek, so do a majority of scholars. Your research is interesting to me in that it produces a different effect than would be expected from a translation, i.e. it has more codes than the greek does. I would think it would be the other way around.
Nevertheless, here would be an opportunity to actually check this aspect. Would there be more codes from a Hebrew text that is translated from the greek? In my mind, there shouldn't be. But if there is,..... This would be an area that needs an answer.
EDIT: Here is a site I found that has the same text but avaiable in PDF and HTML formats for download:
