Yes, they are known as "notes in the outer margin" and listed on p.78* of 
the Introduction to N/A 27, are the various sigla to mark where a quotation 
is not from BHS.but from the various LXX versions. Of course, they are 
mixed up with the many NT cross-references --- but you do expect to 
do  _some_ work yourself, don't you?

Another case, do you think of <(Duh... I'd never even noticed this.) >  <g>

BTW, a word of caution, especially when it comes to the allusions; 
exercise, as with all lists, your own discretion and decide for yourself. 
As an instance, read 1 Co. 6:18 and then check Test. Reuben 5.5 and see if 
you think this is doing a distinct disservice to Paul.  ( I know I do )

P.S   for a very detailed study of the use of the OT in one section of the 
Gospels, see:
