You can do this for the Psalms, and read the Hebrew and Greek as well,
in Kohlenberger's marvelous "A Comparative Psalter." I
would say this is the ONLY way to read the LXX, since
the Greek, in the Psalms at least, often really only makes sense
in relation to the Hebrew. Which raises the question, why
hasn't Oxford done this for the rest of Septuagint?

The best advice I can give you is to read NETS and NRSV side by side. You will then quickly see what sort of translation Greek Proverbs is. While some of the difference between the Greek (=NETS) and the MT (=NRSV) are no doubt due to a parent text at variance with MT, most are attributable to the mode of translation adopted by the Greek translator.
