[B-Greek] Scrivener 1894 errors

I was wondering whether someone could help me pin down the exact text of
Scrivener's 1894 Textus Receptus. Utilizing my background as a computer
scientist, I have compared various texts from the Internet claiming to be
Scrivener's 1894 with the version found in the Online Bible and found the
following 27 discrepancies. Although many of the discrepancies relate to
where words are broken, there were some other errors as well. I do not have
access to a printed version of Scrivener's text and cannot find one anywhere
in town. The closest thing I had to resolve the discrepancies was Green's
Interlinear which also claims to use Scrivener's text. Out of the 27
discrepancies list below, the Green's printed version agreed with the Online
Bible 13 times, with the Internet text 9 times, and with neither 5 times.
Does Green's Interlinear have it right? Could someone with a reliable
printed copy please indicate the correct readings? At this point it seems to
me that there is no electronic copy that has it quite right and I am sure
that the authors of these texts would appreciate the corrections.

[BTW, I have done the exact same thing for the NA26/UBS3 and NA27/UBS4 (yes
there are a few minor difference between these) and found that none of the
texts found on the Internet including the CCAT were correct. Fortunately, I
own printed copies of these texts and was able to resolve the discrepancies
myself.]

I have designated the following Scrivener texts as:
   INT = various texts found around the Internet that are actually copies of
each other
   OLB = Online Bible
   GRN = Green's Interlinear
The * indicates which text agreed with Green's Interlinear printed version.
