Tishendorf actually leaves a major clue in 1846 (only 2 years, possibly less, after his 1844 discovery) and in English too in 1851 (only 7 years after 1844) as to where he found the Codex Sinaiticus.

I found out that the Travels in the East was translated into English even earlier! It was actually translated 4 years earlier, in 1847! Not just in 1851!

Tischendorf drop's a major hint bomb

Tishcendorf actually leaves a major clue in 1846 (only 2 years, possibly less, after his 1844 discovery) and in English too in 1847 (only 3 years after 1844) as to where he found the Codex Sinaiticus.
Take note, SART Team, a major MAJOR hint bomb alert was given by Tischendorf in 1846!

VII. A FRAGMENT OF THE CODEX FREDERICKO-AUGUSTUS FROM ISAIAH AND JEREMIAH.
"In my former Journey to the East [i.e. in 1844] I came across two fragments of the same Codex of the Old Testament, which I doubt whether there is any other [i.e. LXX-OT] parchment more ancient which has been written on in Greek.
I happened to be so fortunate as to acquire others [i.e. the CFA leaves]: which, when I had brought them to my country, and having assembled them as a decoration for the library of the University of Leipzig, I published them abroad in 1846, inscribed with the name of the most gracious King Frederick Augustus.
As for the others [i.e. parchment leaves from 1844], I endeavored in vain to make them surrender them to me; however, I trusted in the hope that it would only be a short time later that they would agree to surrender them to me, [so] I was [able] to write out [i.e. copy out by pen] nothing [of them] but one page [i.e. the Isaiah-Jeremiah fragment page talked about below].
What happened afterwards to those most precious membranes, I was not able to find out, but I believe they were brought into Europe some time ago.
My claim to vindication is to have brought them back from the verge of destruction: for they were in fact among [Lit., “in between”] the leftover remains [Or: “surviving remnants”] of diverse [Or: “various”] codices that were being thrown away, I showed them how valuable these were, and also I was the one responsible for their better and more dignified preservation.
But since nothing of those fragments, which completed the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, the books TWREJO and JOYA, IJO, and all the four books of the Maccabees, had not yet been brought to light, I thought it my duty to make public the few things which I have borrowed from that most ancient treasure. So what pages 213-216 we have published [facsimiles], all these do not make more than one page of the codex itself: for each page, as expressed very accurately in my edition of the Frederick-Augustan codex, has four columns, of which those which are written in full are usually twenty-five lines long. But the third column of our fragment, to which page 215. corresponds, since it is the last of the book of the prophet Isaiah, is not fully written. XXXX."

Long Latin above
In my former eastern journey I came across two remains of the same codex of the Old Testament, in which I doubt whether there is anything more anciently written in Greek on the membranes. I happened to be so fortunate as to acquire others: which, when I had brought them to my country, and had assembled them as a decoration for the library of the University of Leipzig, I gave them abroad in 1846, inscribed with the name of the most gracious King Frederick Augustus. As for the others, I endeavored in vain to make them surrender to me; relying on the hope, however, that it would be a short time later to agree on the surrender, I wrote only one page. I have not been able to find out what happened afterwards to the most precious membranes; but I believe they were brought into Europe some time ago. I claim that I have brought them back from destruction: for among the remains of the various codices that were thrown away, I indicated how valuable they were, and I was the author that they should be better and more dignified. But since nothing of those fragments, which completed the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, the books TWREJO and JOYA, IJO, and all the four books of the Maccabees, had not yet been brought to light, I thought it my duty to make public the few things which I have borrowed from that most ancient treasure. .

before given an account (p. 30), is a fact. The Greek Biblical
fragment also, which I was so lucky as to discover and bring home,
and which in my opinion is not surpassed in antiquity by any of the
Greek vellum codices*, has surprised very many who considered the
hopes I entertained of such discoveries, as merely silly enthusiasm.
