Shlama Khulkon:
I came across a quote in the book The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland for 1935, on page 188, which agrees that Mingana Syriac 148 is indeed the New Testament Peshitta Massorah.

While the Old Testament Massorah is represented in a unique MS. in the British Museum, the New Testament Massorah is represented by a unique MS. in my collection (Mingana Syriac 148), and it is to be hoped that Weiss, who has had the praiseworthy diligence to investigate such a complicated subject as the Massorah of the Old Testament, will some day do the same for the less complicated text of the New Testament.
