Allow me to reproduce a passage regarding the question:
The extant pre-Christian copies of the Greek OT that include passages
which in Hebrew incorporate the Divine Name also preserve the Hebrew Divine Name
in the Greek text. These copies are
(1) P. Faud 266 (=Rahifs 848), 50 b.c.e.,
containing the Tetragrammaton in Aramaic letters;
(2) a fragmentary scroll of the Twelve Prophets in Greek from Wâdı̄ Khabra (=W.Khabra XII Kaige),
50 b.c.e.–50 c.e., containing the Tetragrammaton in Paleo-Hebrew letters; and (3) 4QLXXLevb (=Rahifs 802),
1st century b.c.e., containing the Tetragrammaton written in Greek letters in the form of IAO.
The well-known Jewish-Greek versions of the OT that emerged in the 2d century c.e., i.e.,
those of Aquila, Theodotion, and Symmachus,
continued the Jewish practice of writing the Hebrew Tetragrammaton into the Greek text.
The evidence, therefore, suggests that the practice of writing the Hebrew Divine Name
into the text of the Greek OT continued throughout the NT period.

As for the pictures, the are two in http://www.eliyah.com/lxx.html
but I am not sure if those pictures are specifiacaly from p. fouad 266.
