Shalom Otto,
I do not consider myself a Greek scholar but thought that will have a stab at this one for you.
An old edition of NA which I have has the following footnotes to this verse, i.e. concerning "me on autos hypo nomon" phrase:
{A} - (degree of certainity, A- text is virtually certain)
Then a list of uncials: Alef, A, B, C, D*, F, G, P
Uncials codes in NA are:
Alef = Sinaiticus
A = Alexandrinus
B = Vaticanus
C = Ephraemi Rescriptus
D = Claromontanus (?)
F = Cambridge IX c.
G = Boernerianus, IX c.
P = Leningrad IX c.
and also several minuscules: 33, 104, ..., syrh (Peshitta Harclean), vulgate
The phrase is ommited in uncials:
Dc, K, Psi (Dc = IX century, K = Moscow IX c, Psi = Athos VIII c.)
several minuscules: 81, 88, ..., Byz (majority of Byzantine manuscripts), syrp (Syriac Peshitta)
Note: the above is not a full list as you have it in NA with Origen, Chrisostom and others. It would be very interesting to see how they used and interpreted this verse.
I have found the following list of papyri and manuscripts very useful in the past
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kchanson.com/papyri.html">http://www.kchanson.com/papyri.html</a><!-- m -->
You have the codes there, I think the same as in NA, (but not sure, also not sure how accurate this list is or when last updated).
If you would like to see the scan of the text, for example in Sinaiticus, it is here:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.csntm.org/Manuscripts/GA%2001/GA01_071b.jpg">http://www.csntm.org/Manuscripts/GA%2001/GA01_071b.jpg</a><!-- m -->
1 Cor 9:20 spans from the bottom of the second column to the top of the third,
incriminated text is right at the top of the third column.
It doesn't look like scribal insertion or correction to me, the change in the text must have happened before IV century and then propagated. The agenda seems obvious. Some argue that is more natural in Greek to have this bit as it balances grammatical chiasm or some other mumbojumbo.
Peace and blessings,
Jerzy
