Aleppo and Sassoon are Hebrew, have no NT, and are many hundreds of years later. Not relevant to your claim about 3-column manuscripts. They are relevant because they are complete bibles, as is Vaticanus, whose age suggests it was one of the Constantine bibles, and demonstates a standard in...

Here is one reason to conjecture that the Simonides-Hodgkin letters have excellent Sinaiticus material.

Here is a Luciano Canfora section rough google translated from Italian to English. It touches on various issues, including the one above about John Newton.

John Eliot Hodgkin (who was the curator of the Mayer collection) writes to John Newton (March 22, 1907) and judges Farrer's book "dispassionate, impartial". 326 It is the same Hodgkin whom, in March 1864, from Paris, Simonidis wrote telling his own discoveries of Greek codices and advocating every possible initiative in the dispute over the Sinaitic. Speaking in the year 1900 on the popular "Notes and Queries" magazine, Hodgkin found a way, starting from a pretext, to mention with honor Simonidis claiming its truthfulness (July 21, 1900). In 1907, in his letter to Newton, he also declared, in the first sentences, that he had helped Farrer in his work, that he had passed on materials ("letters etc."). In the background «Simonidis» kept in the Gennadios Library of Athens 327 there is a letter from Farrer to Hodgkin, written while Farrer was involved in writing the Simonides chapter of the Forgeries.

These Hodgkin-Simonides letters may have material discussing initiatives in the Sinaiticus dispute!

So far, there are no such letters published anywhere, and they could be immensely helpful to Sinaiticus and Simonides scholarship.
